Closing T2 transits in France
Transport companies which have trucks which enter France via the land bridge will want to have the transit closed as quickly as possible. T2 declarations which enter the EU via France are not automatically discharged on arrival and the driver must either present the goods at a customs office of destination or at an authorized consignee’s premises. When presenting the goods at a customs office of destination in France an agent or broker is needed to assist in closing the declaration.
No need to Import the goods
As goods are of EU origin, there is no need for the EU importer to lodge an import declaration. Once the T2 is closed, the goods are in free circulation.
SGS and Calais Truckstop – closing T2s
SGS TransitNet and Calais Truckstop have joined forces to offer TransitNet clients the perfect location to close T2 transit declarations on entry to France. Calais Truckstop is an authorized consignee which means SGS transits, which have the customs office of termination code FR000740, can be closed by Calais Truckstop staff once the driver is at the location of the Calais Truckstop with the truck and the goods.
The process is quick and efficient and makes the time and cost advantage of using the land bridge much more attractive.
Closing T2s – SPS goods
For transits of goods which are subject to Sanitary or Phytosanitary controls, Calais Truckstop can also close these transits as authorized consignee. One additional requirement is that the driver must have a validated copy of the CHED. A CHED is usually validated once the truck has entered the EU.
CHEDs are issued via Traces NT and SGS can perform the entry into Traces NT to generate the necessary CHED on our clients behalf.
Opening transits at Calais Truckstop
As well as closing transits, approved clients of TransitNet can also open transits from the Calais Truckstop under the simplified procedure. Once the truck is at the location, the driver can present the TSN to Calais Truckstop who will process the transit in TransitNet. Once the transit is Released for Transit, Calais Truckstop staff will print the copy of the TAD and any other necessary copies.
