Customs issues

• The introduction of NCTS in June 2013 will be the end of the simplified and paper-based transit procedure for rail

• The provision of the correct MRN (Movement Reference Number) for import, export and transit procedures appears to emerge as an obligation for rail (DG TAXUD to define)

• Special case of intra EU transports via CH: proposal to be prepared offering different technical and procedural options

The way forward - Customs
