01 / T1 FOR YOUR ROUTE

T1 for Italian ports, warehouses and onward transport

A T1 customs document is used mainly for non-Union goods moving under customs supervision to the customs office of destination.

We prepare T1 declarations for departures from Italian cargo locations and for shipments travelling to or through Italy. Tell us where your goods are and where they need to go.

For cargo at an Italian port, airport or customs warehouse, send the collection address and onward destination. Include the transport mode for each stage so we can confirm where transit starts and ends.

T1 IN ITALY

Before you request a T1

Ask about your route
Can one T1 declaration cover a route through several countries?

One T1 declaration can cover transit through several countries, depending on the goods, route and guarantee. Send the full route and transport modes so we can confirm which stages the declaration will cover.

Does every shipment between Italy and another EU country need T1?

No. T1 is mainly used for non-Union goods moving under customs supervision. It is not automatically required simply because a shipment crosses an EU border. Send the cargo documents and route so we can confirm whether T1 applies.

What do I need to prepare for a T1 declaration?

Send an invoice or pro forma invoice, your route and any customs offices you already know. Include the packing list and CMR if available. We will tell you if anything else is needed.

What should I send for cargo held at an Italian port or warehouse?

Send the cargo location and address, invoice or pro forma invoice, destination, transport document if available, and the route. We will review the details and confirm the customs offices and price before preparing the declaration.

What affects the price of a T1 declaration?

The starting point, route, guarantee amount, cargo type and number of line items on the declaration all affect the price. We review these details and give you a quote before preparing the T1.
