Situation: you have created a transit document from the United Kingdom (or from Ireland) that will accompany the goods to their final destination in the European Union (a so-called through transit document; T1/T2).
The advance notification of Transit Declarations in Notification Import Documentation (NID) works as follows:
- You do not need to pre-notify through transit documents via the NID service.
- However, you must indicate in your booking with your carrier or ferry operator that you wish to ship goods with a through transit document. You do this by providing the MRN number of your Transit Declaration when making your booking.
- The carrier will notify Customs of your transit document upon arrival in the Netherlands and will submit a document pre-notification to the terminal on your behalf.
A transit document from the UK can be recognised by the first 5 characters: 21GB00. A number starting with "21GB01X" is not a transit document, but an export document from the UK.
