NCTS Transit Phase 5 – User Information
On 18th November NCTS switched on validation for LRNs and ARNs.
This has resulted in receipt of G0033 errors on both Arrivals and Departures (GB). To resolve, you must input the Location Reference Number exactly as shown on your authorisation paperwork from the HMRC Transit Team. Please pay particular attention to case sensitivity and spacing.
At the same time, HMRC extended the NCTS message timers from 5 minutes to the time indicated in your authorised consignor/consignee documentation for each of your authorised locations. This will delay the time it takes for you to receive Goods Released for Transit or Unloading Permission Granted.
For further advice please contact the NCTS Helpdesk, phone 0300 322 7095 Email: ncts.helpdesk@hmrc.gov.uk or raise a ticket via the ASM Service Desk Portal.
