The destination office appears at the end of the transit chain: it is the customs office at the final point of delivery where the arrival notification is lodged and the transit procedure is formally discharged. It is neither the physical unloading point – a warehouse, port, or depot – nor the office of departure in the country of origin. Under common transit (T1/T2) and other international transit procedures, the destination office must be declared before the goods leave the office of departure. Only once that office confirms arrival and formally closes the procedure is the principal released from customs liability. For freight forwarders, entering the correct destination office is a compliance obligation with direct financial consequences: an incorrect entry can leave a transit procedure open and trigger debt recovery action.
