If you have goods you are preparing to move within the EU which are already in free circulation, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you that a T2 Transit Document will be required.

The Customs Clearance Agents UK will explain that a T2 document is very similar to a T1 document, however the T2 is used for goods which are already in free circulation within the EU.

A well-informed Customs Clearance Agents UK will also advise that the T2 document is required, when the goods have a planned transit routing to go through non-EU countries, without any duties required to be paid at the border when transiting through the non-EU countries.

Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you, that if your goods will be transiting through Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland, you will require a T2 Transit Document. For example, if you approach your Customs Clearance Agents UK and explain you have goods in Germany that were being transported to Italy and would be transiting through Switzerland, they will then advise a T2 is required as Switzerland is not part of the EU.

Similarly to a T1 Transit Document, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you that the T2 must be collected from a given customs office in the country of export and opened before transit and must then be closed at the country of import on arrival. Failure to follow your Customs Clearance Agent UK’s guidance on this could result in the T2 not being closed correctly and therefore place you at risk of fines from customs.

For a T2 Transit Document, if you need assistance or think your goods require one, always seek the professional advice of your Customs Clearance Agents UK and follow their instructions to ensure the smooth and safe clearance of your goods.

Always consult your Customs Clearance Agents UK if you think you need a T2 and request their specialist guidance on how to use it and follow their instructions.
