The NCTS Transit Workflow, Office by Office

The short version

An NCTS movement flows through three roles: the office of departure opens it, offices of transit record border crossings, and the office of destination closes it. Because members share one system, that flow holds across each contracting party on the route.

Mapping the flow to members

Knowing which countries are in the network tells you where the workflow runs without a fresh declaration. This breakdown of common transit member countries is handy when you sketch a route across the EU, UK and EFTA states.

Closing correctly

A movement must be discharged at destination, and if it started on paper during downtime it closes on paper too.
