• use of the NCTS to facilitate the termination /discharge of TIR operations

within the Community.

•Augmenting the return of Voucher No 2 with the sending of NCTS messages

• Secondary objective of exercise is to inform the development of the e-TIR project


Implementation of NCTS-TIR on 1st January 2009

•From this date, an electronic declaration must be submitted to the NCTS for the EU element of a TIR movement.

•An NCTS declaration must be lodged at the first Customs office of entry into the EU.

So how is this done for road transport from Turkey?


Facility to submit TIR data to NCTS/TIR system by persons not established in Greece is not available at present.

The Web channel information is only in Greek and as above-no one outside Greece can be accredited.

There is no IRU -EPD facility at present either.

Transport operators must use customs agents or other serviceproviders who may be accredited for the system

The Greek administration are working hard to improve this

If a movement enters via Greece

NCTS-TIR Pre-Declaration RequirementsIf a movement enters via

A handout featuring the UK system (MCC) has been

provided to demonstrate the requirements.

If you are able to submit your declarations directly via the

Internet or through third party software, you will find that the

look of the interfaces with the NCTS will vary but the structure

and format remain generally consistent throughout.

On arrival at the Office of Departure /Entry in the EU -

Once all usual TIR Carnet formalities are completed i.e. Voucher 1 removed,

seals checked and recorded on the NCTS, the movement is accepted and the MRN

is generated. Note: If S&S data has been included in the

declaration a control may be

carried out.

The TAD can now be printed and is affixed to the TIR Carnet.


Question

What are the benefits of the NCTS Declaration

Answer

The NCTS will be used as a control measure to send appropriate

messages from the Office of Departure/Entry to the Office of

Destination/Exit. These messages will replace the much slower

process of physically returning Voucher 2 and therefore minimise

unnecessary Enquiry Procedures being initiated.


Question.

As a TIR Trader do I need to do anything

different with the TIR Carnet?

Answer

No from a Traders point of view, there are no obvious changes to the paper based

procedure.

However, you may wish to use a local reference to identify your Declaration at

the office of Departure/Entry.

NCTS-TIR Pre-Declaration RequirementsQuestion.

What do I do if the NCTS is in Fallback at the

office of

Departure/ Entry in the EU.

Answer

If the NCTS is unavailable when making your declaration or on arrival at the office of Departure/Entry in the EU.

The Customs authorities at the Member State of Entry will stamp or write the words FALLBACK on the Voucher and

Counterfoil No 1 of the TIR carnet.
