On Tuesday, October 29, 2024, NCTS will be replaced by the ‘Douane Vervoer Applicatie’ (DVA). DVA is also known as NCTS Phase 5. We will adjust the ‘Clearance NCTS Export Containers’ service to comply with the new DVA regulations. No adjustments are required on the terminal side.
From October 29th, all transit declarations will be submitted via DVA. Declarations submitted via DVA must also be cleared in DVA using the new DVA message specifications. Declarations that were made in the old NCTS system will be cleared there. We will implement changes to the service to ensure that clearance always takes place in the correct system and are in line with the message specification applying to that system, the first test messages will be send to DVA this week.
For more information, we refer you to the Customs webinar (Dutch only) and the website DVA – What will change for you?. The Portbase back-up procedure for the service Clearance NCTS Export Containers will be updated in accordance of the latest DVA-changes.
