NCTS Lodgement & Discharge
Full New Computerised Transit System lifecycle management
NCTS is the electronic system used across all CTC countries to lodge transit declarations, generate the MRN, present at the office of transit, and discharge at the office of destination. The UK runs its own NCTS instance fully integrated with the EU system.
We handle the complete NCTS lifecycle: pre-lodgement, presentation, in-transit anomalies, and final discharge. If discharge doesn't happen automatically (a common cause of guarantee waste), we open an inquiry procedure and follow it through.
How It Works
- 1Pre-lodge the declaration on NCTS so the driver doesn't wait at the port
- 2Issue the MRN and Transit Accompanying Document (TAD)
- 3Track each office-of-transit notification in real time
- 4Confirm discharge — or chase an open inquiry if it doesn't auto-close
