Customs procedures: transit • The UK will join the Common Transit Convention after the date of withdrawal, so UK may use common transit and have access to NCTS • If goods on transit are brought from EU27 to UK after the withdrawal date, an EXS has to be lodged, unless security data are already on transit declaration or obligation to lodge EXS is waived • Same procedure if inverse movement ENS • Acceptance of forms of guarantor’s undertakings and guarantee certificates < 1 year after withdrawal 11
