NCTS courier service, deadlines and "no incident" closure

Gibraltar must send:

  • Arrival Notice Message 006, at the time of presentation of the goods in Gibraltar, and

  • Message 018 with the results of the T1GI control within 3 working days from the presentation of goods in Gibraltar.

Gibraltar will forward:

  • Proof of settlement of the transaction tax and the excise tax (if applicable), or

  • Proof that the goods have been included in a special customs or tax regime and therefore nothing has been settled.

In exceptional and duly justified circumstances, in accordance with Article 7.4 of Annex 21, certain goods may arrive by sea directly to the port of Gibraltar from third territories without T1GI:

  • To be linked to RPA/IT/, DCP requires the presentation exclusively of the corresponding declaration in model H1 with regime 51, 53 (art 7.3 Annex 21)

  • For inclusion in Customs Warehouse, for subsequent use in the context of supplying ships in port as provisioning for them, requiring in this case in DCP the presentation of the corresponding declaration in model H1 with regime 71 (art 7.4 Annex 21)

In both cases, prior authorization will be required, and the goods cannot be moved until the DCP grants them release.

The T1GI is finalized by the customs office of departure (DCP) when it can be verified that the declared goods have arrived in Gibraltar, by comparing:

  • The information available in DCP, and

  • The information received from Gibraltar regarding the destination given to the goods.
