Going forward, there will be ongoing compliance considerations regarding the use of Transit, with each CTC member nation having its specific national Transit compliance requirements. Exporters and their Transit agents will need to be compliant with other national requirements when applying Transit into working practice.
These national Transit compliance requirements will vary considerably, and it will be important going forward to be prepared for how the movement will be received in the consignee country.
One of the welcome changes to NCTS5's final state is the introduction of the House Consignment function for third-party software users.
Multiple house consignments will be available for both the simplified and normal procedures, affording the ability to declare goods according to the consignor and/or consignee at the House Consignment level.
From Final State implementation, the size of the declaration will also increase, allowing users to declare up to 1999 house consignments on a single transit declaration, with each house consignment capacity swelling to 999 line items.
