Types of Customs Transit

- Inland Customs Office Transit: Imported goods may transit to inland customs offices for manufacturing, processing, or warehousing with electronically lodged GD and required security. Transfers to Customs Facilities Warehouse (CFW) need an electronic Transfer Permit.
- Free Zones to Port of Loading: Goods from free zones ready for export must be withdrawn with an Export Declaration to serve as the Transit Permit. ATL is also required for outright exportation.
- Inter-Port or Inland Office Transit: Transits between ports or inland customs offices require GD for Transit and sufficient security posting.
Obligations of Responsible Parties
- Arrival Tagging: Upon goods' arrival, the responsible officer must tag the transit goods in the system.
- Presentation of Goods: Carriers, brokers, and consignees must ensure intact presentation of goods at destination customs offices to meet transit obligations.
- Monitoring System: An electronic transit cargo monitoring system (MISTG) must be established to track movement.
E-TRACC / Electronic Customs Seal
- Seal Requirements: Electronic seals are mandatory for cargo transfers to CFWs, transit to free zones, and export from these locations.
- Cargo Monitoring: Export cargo from free zones requires electronic seals to facilitate tracking.
Transit Permit
