The five step decision
A repeatable T1 or T2 decision follows five steps. Confirm origin. Pull the customs history. Check whether the goods still hold Union free circulation. Match the routing to CTC and non-CTC legs. Pick the declaration type and pull the required evidence.
Where teams break the flow
Teams break the flow when they let sales or planners set the declaration type based on routing alone. A pallet routed via Switzerland is not automatically T2. The Union status has to be confirmed against the goods, not the map.
The difference between Union and non-Union transit explains why routing is the last input, not the first.
Wiring the checks into your system
At a minimum, keep a status field on the shipment record that pulls from the customs history rather than a free text field. Trigger evidence collection automatically the moment T2 is selected. Block lodgement if the evidence is not attached.
