Common Transit Convention
Full CTC coverage across the UK, EU and EFTA contracting parties
The Common Transit Convention (CTC) lets goods move under a single transit procedure across the UK, all EU member states, the EFTA countries (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) and other contracting parties such as Türkiye, North Macedonia, Serbia and Ukraine. CTC is the legal framework that underpins T1 and T2 movements outside the EU's internal market.
We advise on the right procedure for your route, set up and maintain Comprehensive Guarantees (CGUs), handle Authorised Consignor / Consignee permissions where helpful, and act as your end-to-end transit partner from Office of Departure to Office of Destination — including any Office of Transit notifications in between.
