NCTS

Also called: New Computerised Transit System · NCTS Phase 5 · Yeni Bilgisayarlı Transit Sistemi

The electronic system used to lodge, control and discharge transit declarations in the EU and common transit countries, including Türkiye and the UK. Phase 5 introduced new data requirements aligned with the UCC, and later phases connect transit with import and export systems.

In practice

A transit movement ends correctly only when the destination office closes it in NCTS; open movements lead to duty claims against the holder.
