Bonded & Transit Transport

Bonded and Transit Transport

Cargo passing through Turkey but not entering the country, or routing to a different customs point, is handled under the transit regime. Voltim Global organises T1 / TIR Carnet / NCTS procedures end-to-end through its contracted customs brokers.

Transit Types

  • T1 Declaration: Non-Union goods movement between EU and transit countries
  • TIR Carnet: Valid in all signatory countries under TIR Convention
  • NCTS: New Computerised Transit System — electronic declaration
  • National Transit: Inter-customs movement within Turkey

Operation Steps

  1. Cargo details + exporter/importer information
  2. Transit guarantee arrangement (banks / insurance)
  3. Electronic declaration in T1 / TIR Carnet / NCTS
  4. Exit customs office stamp + officer physical control
  5. Transit movement + daily vehicle follow-up
  6. Discharge at destination customs + guarantee release

Our Edge

  • Contracted licensed customs brokers (details)
  • Coordination at border crossings such as Sarp, Kapikule and Habur
  • Discharge follow-up until the guarantee is released

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bonded and transit transport?
Bonded and transit transport covers cargo passing through Turkey without entering the country, or routing to a different customs point, handled under the transit regime. The cargo is declared at the exit customs office, moves under a transit guarantee, and the declaration is discharged at the destination customs, releasing the guarantee. Voltim Global organises T1, TIR Carnet and NCTS procedures end-to-end through its contracted customs brokers.
What is a T1 declaration and when is it used?
A T1 declaration is a transit document covering the movement of non-Union goods between the EU and transit countries under customs supervision. The cargo travels against a guarantee until it reaches the destination customs office, where the declaration is discharged. The T1 is opened electronically via NCTS (New Computerised Transit System) by Voltim's contracted customs brokers, and Voltim follows the discharge until the movement is closed.
How does the transit transport process work?
The transit process runs in six main steps: collecting cargo details plus exporter/importer information, arranging the transit guarantee through banks or insurance, filing the electronic declaration in T1 / TIR Carnet / NCTS, exit customs office stamp with an officer's physical control, the transit journey with daily vehicle follow-up, and finally discharge at the destination customs with release of the guarantee. Voltim Global coordinates all of these steps from a single point.
Which documents and guarantees are required for transit transport?
Transit transport requires cargo details, exporter and importer information, and — depending on the operation — a T1 declaration, TIR Carnet or NCTS electronic declaration. The transit regime also requires a valid transit guarantee for the journey; this is arranged through banks or insurance and released once the declaration is discharged at the destination customs. Voltim coordinates the guarantee arrangement and all documents together with its contracted customs brokers.
Which border crossings and routes does Voltim cover?
Through its contracted customs brokers, Voltim Global coordinates transit at border crossings such as Sarp, Kapikule and Habur. It organises international transit cargo passing through Turkey as well as national transit — inter-customs movement within Turkey. As the TIR Carnet is valid in all signatory countries under the TIR Convention, a wide route network is supported, and the discharge of each movement is followed until the guarantee is released.
