# The Customs Transit Procedures (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, Paragraph 38: Discharge of the common transit procedure


(1) The common transit procedure is discharged when HMRC and any customs authority for the customs office of destination outside the United Kingdom are in a position to establish, on the basis of a comparison of the data available to HMRC and any customs office of destination, that the procedure has ended correctly. The deemed transit procedure in paragraph 25(9) is then deemed to be similarly discharged for the purposes of TCTA, Schedule 2, paragraph 19(2).
(2) HMRC, acting with any customs authority for any customs office of destination outside the United Kingdom, must take all the measures necessary and within their powers to regularise the situation of the goods in respect of which a common transit procedure has not been discharged under the conditions prescribed.
(3) In the case of a common transit procedure ending in accordance with paragraph 29(6), that common transit procedure is deemed to be discharged unless HMRC have received information or have established that the procedure has not ended correctly. The deemed transit procedure in paragraph 25(9) is then deemed to be similarly discharged for the purposes of TCTA, Schedule 2, paragraph 19(2).
(4) The deemed transit procedure in paragraph 25(9) is deemed to be discharged, and paragraph 39 does not apply, when and to the extent that the goods in question are declared and accepted for another Customs procedure pursuant to TCTA, Schedule 2, paragraph 18(2).
