What is a T2 document?

What is a T2 document?
A T2 document is customs document used as a transit document for shipments within the EU to/through 1 of the so-called EFTA countries (Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland) and the UK. Because the EFTA countries are in Europe but not affiliated with the EU you would normally have to wait a very long time because there is an EU border.

Benefits T2 document
Union goods can be transported within the European Union (EU) through a T2 document, also called Internal Union Transit. Under this procedure, Union goods can be transported between two places in the customs territory of the Union through a country or territory outside that customs territory, without changing their customs status. This can save a lot of time in the transportation process, as there is no waiting at the Union border due to crowding. Not only waiting is saved but also the cost of import duties does not have to be paid at the border in the EFTA countries. Another advantage of the T2 document is, that multiple export shipments can be listed on it.
