01 / T1 FOR YOUR ROUTE
T1 for UK road routes and ferry departures
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 UK shipments and can handle the export declaration as a separate service. Tell us where the cargo is, where it is going and how it will cross the border.
For road shipments leaving via Dover, we can open T1 at our agreed location before the ferry crossing, after the export step. Send the cargo documents and crossing details so we can confirm the plan for your shipment.
