What is a TAD?

A Transit Accompanying Document (TAD) is also known as a T1 or T2. A T1 document allows Goods originating from outside the European Union to move freely between EU countries. A T2 is the reverse of a T1.

Creating a transit movement on NCTS will generate a transit document (TAD). This document MUST travel with the goods in paper form. It includes a bar code that is scanned at each border crossing and is the basis of the track and trace functionality.
