<p>The UK has been invited to accede to the Common Transit Convention (CTC) as a contracting
party when it leaves the EU. If the UK is outside the EU customs union it will have
to carry out the office of transit function on transit movements entering the UK from
the EU and other countries. Many existing UK ports and airports have existing facilities
for transit movements, including carrying out the office of transit function. These
offices will continue to operate, and HMRC and Border Force are working to ensure
they will be able to meet the increased demand that will result from EU exit.</p><p>
</p><p>At three high volume locations the UK has agreed a different arrangement with
the other parties to the CTC. Under this agreement the office of transit function
will not be a physical location, but will be carried out digitally.</p>
