Definition & Explanation

An NCTS Unloading Report is the electronic message confirming the physical unloading of transit goods at the destination. It records the quantity, description, and identification of the unloaded goods and confirms their removal from the transit chain. Held within the New Computerized Transit System (NCTS), it is a key element for discharging the procedure and releasing the principal from liability. In Switzerland the transit procedure is handled through the BAZG system Passar; the unloading report forms part of the electronic message exchange under the common transit procedure (CTC) and must match the original transit declaration. It is distinct from the NCTS Unloading Permission, which precedes unloading: the report documents the outcome afterwards. Related terms: NCTS destination party, Passar, BAZG, DaziT.
