Transit under seal (T1/NCTS · TIR)
Goods cross countries uncleared, under seal, cleared at destination. The backbone of the sealed-truck corridor.
Home / Guides / Customs Regimes
Nothing 'skips' customs. Freight moves fast when the right legal regime is chosen before the goods move — transit under seal, temporary admission, ship-spares-in-transit or a prepared formal entry. This guide explains the four regimes urgent freight actually uses.
The four regimes
Every urgent movement on the Türkiye–Europe corridor uses one of these — the choice is the strategy.
Goods cross countries uncleared, under seal, cleared at destination. The backbone of the sealed-truck corridor.
Equipment enters, works, and leaves without duty — the event and repair regime.
Vessel parts board without entering free circulation. No duty, by law, when run correctly.
When goods do stay, speed comes from pre-lodged declarations — cleared while the aircraft is still airborne.
How the desk applies it
Questions
Almost always: the regime was chosen after arrival, or a document was missing at the gate. Both are planning failures, not customs failures — pre-lodged paperwork clears in hours.
The truck is sealed at origin under a transit declaration; no country en route touches the load. The seal number travels on the paperwork and is broken only at the destination customs office.
Yes — brokerage on the Türkiye side is in-house, which is why the flight plan and the customs plan are genuinely one plan.
