View historyOn January 20, 2025 at 23:59:59 (time UTC ) the provisional period of the NCTS5 system will end, and the definitive period will begin, during which the conditions relating to the data of the transit declarations for said period will begin to apply.
Revision 1.15 of the Web Services Transit Guide for the exchange of information between Operators and Customs in the new NCTS5 System (New Computerized Transit System Phase 5) is published. This guide contains the messages of the external domain (communication between the Economic Operator and the Tax Agency) of the national component of the Automated Transit Declaration System (NCTS5), as well as the adaptations that may be necessary to improve the National Transit Systems in line with the Union Customs Code (UCC).
This new revision provides clarifications regarding the entry into force of the definitive period, adjusting said entry to 23:59:59 on 20/01/2025 (UTC time), and announcing a time of unavailability for the filing of declarations from 23:59:59 on 20/01/2025 to 01:00:00 on 21/01/2025 peninsular time (CET), to avoid problems with this time difference between UTC and peninsular time (UTC + 1).
It is recalled that the moment when the system enters its final state is of great importance and that it is important for all operators to have their systems correctly configured to validate the rules and conditions based on that date, taking into account that all declarations admitted on January 21, 2025 must be in the final period format.
On January 21, 2025, the final phase of the NCTS P5 transit system comes into force. In view of the possible
of the electronic system of the operators and of the other member States of the Common Transit Convention, this Sub-Directorate has considered it appropriate to prepare a contingency plan.
These validations are cancelled until further notice.

Georgia has been formally invited to join the Common Transit Convention and the Convention on the Simplification of Formalities in Trade in Goods. Following the deposit of the instruments of accession on 19 December 2024 and the completion of the necessary formalities to make this accession effective, Georgia will become a contracting party to these Conventions as of 1 February 2025.
It has been detected that incorrect import and export declarations are being made. Thus, from January 14, the following rejections will be introduced into the customs declaration system:
-
Import. Indirect representation will not be permitted when the requested regimes are 53 (temporary importation / TEA), 51 (inward processing / IPO IM EX), and 44 (end-use / EUS), 46 and 48 (outward processing / OPO IM EX).
-
Export. Indirect representation will not be permitted when the requested regimes are 11 (inward processing / IPO EX IM) and 21 (outward processing / OPO EX IM) and 22 (outward processing / OPO other than 21).
In addition, future versions of the technical guides for these systems will incorporate these validations.
As of January 28, 2025, the number of uses of the "Complete Export Consultation (CCAESC)" web service will be limited to a maximum of 30 times for each MRN of export declaration.
The Technical Guide for Web Services of the AES Export System warns that massive use should not be made of this full query web service. This is a very useful query, but it is very resource intensive, so its use should be limited and reasonable.
Please note that if the operator wishes to know whether the export declaration has already been issued or wishes to be informed of other events that have occurred in the management of the declaration, he/she must subscribe to the AES Export Inbox service. This Inbox service allows the operator to automatically receive communications relating to their export declarations at the same time they occur. With these communications you will be aware of what is happening in your declarations without having to make unnecessary massive use of the Full Export Query.
The way to subscribe to AES export inbox communications is explained in the AES export web services technical guide, which is published on the Electronic Office of the Tax Agency.

Revision 3 of the Export Declaration Status Consultation Web Service Guide "ConsAutV2" is published.
