New Computerised Transit System – Phase 5 (NCTS-P5)
Overview
Revenue introduced the latest phase of its transit system, NCTS-P5 in February 2024. NCTS-P5 aligns our electronic transit declaration system with the legal requirements legislated for in the Union Customs Code (UCC).
NCTS-P5:
- facilitates the registration of ‘en route’ events
- and
- implements a new data set and allows for the exchange of messages electronically between different declaration systems.
NCTS-P5 replaces the current NCTS-P4 system.
Note
There will be a migration window until 31 December 2024 for traders to move from NCTS-P4 to NCTS-P5. From 1 January 2025, it will no longer be possible to lodge transit declarations into NCTS-P4.
