need help....question about transit procedure ..

[Former Member]

Hello gurus

Can somebody help me understand the transit procedure ?

my question is

if we are implementing GTS for a company in US and its not a global implementation . and the company does

only exports to the EU customers for example to France

Is it necessary for us to file a transit declaration ?

If yes to which customs offices we have to send the EDI for declaration ?

Does the american company have to follow NCTS?

and if we are like importing goods from EU to USA what is the process?

Is NCTS strictly for the companies which operates in EU and EFTA?

thanks alot for the help

hi,

transit declarations are only for processes within a customs union (NAFTA or EU).

However if you export to or import from the EU you have to file customs declarations. With GTS you can do this all electronically in the US (with AES and ABI) and in many european countries. (Germany, NL, CH, FR etc.).
