•
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?

If a movement enters via Greece
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 service
providers who may be accredited for the system
The Greek administration are working hard to improve this

If you are able to submit your own declarations via the
Internet or through software, the look of the
interfaces with the NCTS will vary but the structure
and format remain the same throughout.
A handout featuring the UK system has been provided
to demonstrate the requirements.

accepted
NCTS-TIR Pre-Declaration Requirements
When the NCTS is in Fallback at the NCTS
office of Departure/ Entry in the EU.
If the system is unavailable and no Declaration can be
made to the NCTS, the Customs officer at the Office of
Departure/Entry will stamp or write the word
FALLBACK on the Volet and Souche No 1 of
the TIR Carnet.
NCTS-TIR Pre-Declaration Requirements
What are the benefits the NCTS Declaration
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 with therefore minimise unnecessary Enquiry
Procedures being initiated.

Question.
As a TIR Trader do I need to do anything different
with the 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.
