T1 transit document

Are you transporting goods from UK to EU and beyond by road? It's likely that you'll require T1 transit declaration to bypass the borders. What are these documents, and why are they important? Most importantly, who issues them? Bright Customs will handle everything to ensure your transport goes smoothly.

What is a T1 Document?

The T1 transit document is a customs document used for goods shipped from the UK to the EU. It allows non-EU goods, in this case from the UK, to move across EU countries / borders until they reach their final destination. The goods remain under customs control until the office of destination (Customs) is reached.

Where can a T1 document be issued in the UK:

The most commonly used locations are:

• Sevington Inland Border Facility (Ashford)
• Harwich Port
• Hull Port
• Immingham Port
• Killingholme Port
• Portsmouth Port
• Belfast Port

Do I need a T1 transit document?

If you're unsure whether you need a T1 document, ask yourself the following questions:

• Are the goods entering the EU from a non-EU country, like the UK?
• Will the goods leave the EU?
• Are the goods being transported through the EU to a non-EU country?
• Will the goods be stored in a customs warehouse within the EU?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you’ll most likely need a T1 document.

What is a T2 Document?

The T2 document is needed when the EU goods are transported to another EU country via the UK or another non-EU territory. This document is frequently used when goods travel between Ireland and the EU (via the UK), in both directions.
