What is T1 Declaration?
The T1 declaration is a transit document used for moving goods across customs territories without paying duties and taxes, secured by a financial guarantee for their payment to the EU budget.
A T1 Declaration, also known as a T1 transit declaration, is a necessary document for goods being transported through the customs territories of the European Union (EU) as well as other countries that are part of the Union and Common Transit Convention.
The T1 declaration is used to provide information about the goods being transported, including their description, value, and origin.

T1 declaration also requires a guarantee to ensure that the taxes and duties on the goods will be paid if they are not declared or are declared incorrectly. The amount of the guarantee is usually based on the value of the goods being imported and the applicable duties and taxes. This guarantee ensures that if the importer fails to pay the taxes and duties on the goods, the EU customs authorities have a source of funds to cover the unpaid amount.

Other Information about T1
The T1 transit declaration is used for goods that are not in free circulation within the EU — typically of non-European origin — and must move under customs control until reaching their final customs-approved destination.
The T1 transit procedure may be initiated at internal or border customs offices, as well as at authorized customs facilities including bonded warehouses, seaports, airports, and inland terminals
Upon completing the Transit declaration and providing the required customs guarantee, Transify issues a reference number—either a Local Reference Number (LRN) or Movement Reference Number (MRN), depending on the country. The driver must present this number to customs during clearance, though in some cases release is granted remotely without physical presentation of goods, depending on where the transit procedure is initiated.
Union and Common Transit Convention countries are: EU member states, EFTA member states (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland), Turkey, Andorra, San Marino, N. Macedonia, Serbia, Ukraine and Georgia
