Note:
It should be noted that the expression "transit declaration" has two meanings. Firstly, a "transit declaration" is understood to be the declaration by which a person expresses, in due form and in accordance with established procedures, his or her intention to place goods under the transit regime. Secondly, this is the document used as a transit declaration, i.e., the required "copies of the SAD or DAT." In the following chapters, the expression "transit declaration" will be used in its original meaning, and the required form will be the "SAD" or the "DAT".
