When you are preparing to export goods from the UK to the EU or vice versa, your Customs Clearance Agents UK will advise you, depending on the routing of the goods, if you will require a T1 Transit Document.

The Customs Clearance Agents UK will explain that a T1 is required when goods are travelling through multiple countries/borders within the EU before reaching their final destination.

Having a Customs Clearance Agents UK is also important because they can advise you the reason why this document is required and explain that it  is because it prevents payment of Tax and Duty at each border crossing between the point of export and the point of import in the EU.

A Customs Clearance Agents UK will also advise you that a T1 document is collected from a customs office in the country of export and then closed at the country of import and a trusted Customs Clearance Agents UK will further explain the importance of following their guidance on how to use the T1 Transit Document, especially ensuring the document is closed correctly within a specific time window of the document being opened.

In a nutshell having an experienced Customs Clearance Agents UK will prevent a lot of issues to your import as he will advise you that if this guidance is not followed and the document is not closed correctly, you could be liable for hefty fines from customs.

Always consult your Customs Clearance Agents UK if you think you need a T1 and request their specialist guidance on how to use it and follow their instructions.
