In modern logistics—especially in international transportation—speed, transparency, and customs efficiency are key success factors.
To meet these needs, the NCTS (New Computerised Transit System) was developed — a digital transit management platform that significantly simplifies and accelerates transit procedures across Europe and its partner countries, including Georgia.
What Is NCTS?
NCTS is a unified digital customs platform designed to facilitate efficient communication between transport companies and customs authorities of different countries.
Through this system, the entire transit process is digitalized, reducing paper-based procedures and simplifying the overall logistics chain.
Why Is It Important?
Simplified Customs Procedures
NCTS promotes automation in customs documentation. From the moment cargo is dispatched until it reaches its destination, customs authorities can monitor the transit process in real time, reducing unnecessary formalities and allowing issues to be detected and resolved quickly.
Improved Transit Control
The system enables full monitoring of a shipment’s route. Any deviation or delay is instantly recorded, and the relevant authorities are automatically notified, ensuring better control and coordination.
Speed and Transparency
Shipments move faster with minimal bureaucratic interference. At the same time, the process becomes more transparent, reducing the risk of lost cargo or illegal transport.
Efficiency in International Cooperation
Beyond the European Union, NCTS includes countries such as Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Turkey, and Georgia.
This broad participation enhances cross-border cooperation and makes the movement of goods between regions much smoother and more predictable.
What Changes on July 1, 2025?
Starting July 1, 2025, registration in the NCTS system becomes mandatory for all transport companies carrying goods in transit across European countries or partner regions.
MATE TRANS is fully prepared for these changes to ensure smooth and reliable service for all our clients under the new requirements.
Conclusion
NCTS is not just a technological innovation — it is an essential tool for modern logistics.
It makes transit operations safer, faster, and more predictable. For companies engaged in international transport, integration with this system is no longer optional — it’s a prerequisite for successful operations in the global marketplace.
