July 11, 2025

A smarter way to move goods across borders

TransitNet is Europe’s leading digital transit platform, used by thousands of businesses to simplify the movement of goods across borders. Whether operating within the EU or across the wider Common Transit area, TransitNet makes it easy to manage T1 and T2 declarations, backed by our industry-leading guarantee coverage.

Fully integrated, secure and multilingual, the platform streamlines every aspect of transit logistics – saving time, cutting costs and ensuring your movements are compliant, audit-ready and fully supported.

Simple, secure and flexible

TransitNet is web-based, cloud-hosted and accessible 24/7/365, enabling you to:

  • Log in securely with encrypted access and individual role-based controls
  • Set up sub-accounts for clients or teams within your organization
  • Use it as a DIY platform or let our expert e-Customs team handle declarations for you, available 24/7

The system supports all modes of transport – road, rail, container, RoRo or barge – and serves every type of operator: transporters, freight forwarders, customs brokers, shippers, importers and authorized consignors/consignees.

Start transits from anywhere

Whether you operate in the UK or abroad, TransitNet allows you to initiate transit declarations from any of the 24 Common Transit countries. For approved users, declarations can even start from your own facility or an authorized location. No need to visit a customs office of departure. This provides:

  • Greater control of global movements from a single point
  • Time and cost savings by avoiding unnecessary delays

Unrivaled customs guarantees

As a trusted global provider, we offer the highest levels of transit guarantee coverage – fully pan-European and capable of supporting even the most high-value, sensitive or specialized cargo. This includes duty and VAT suspension, ensuring compliance and minimizing financial risk as goods move across borders.

Transparent, pay-as-you-use pricing

With TransitNet, there are no complex calculations. The platform automatically determines your charges based on the duty and VAT value, ensuring:

  • Fair, usage-based pricing
  • Full visibility of final costs before submission
  • Duty and VAT debt coverage without overpayment
