Article 33 of Appendix I to the Convention
Article 298 of the AE
As a general rule, goods subject to the transit regime must be transported to the destination customs office via a route that is economically justified.
However, when the customs office of departure or the holder of the procedure considers it necessary, the customs office shall prescribe an itinerary for the movement of the goods during the transit procedure, taking into account all relevant information communicated by the holder of the procedure.
Where the itinerary is mandatory, the customs office of departure shall enter in box 44 of the SAD or DAT, as a minimum, an indication of the Member States or other Contracting Parties (common transit countries) through which the transit procedure is to be carried out.

CUSTOMS Taking into account all relevant information communicated by the holder of the regime, the customs office of departure will establish a mandatory itinerary:
Note 1: For the Union, please indicate the country codes of the Member States concerned. Note 2: Please indicate the country code for each of the countries included in the mandatory itinerary. |
