# The Customs Transit Procedures (EU Exit) Regulations 2018, Paragraph 65: Provision for airlines


(1) HMRC may authorise, in the case of air transport, the use of an electronic transport document as a declaration for the common transit procedure, provided it contains the particulars of such declaration and those particulars are available to the customs authorities for the place of departure and destination to allow the customs control of the goods and the discharge of the procedure.
(2) The authorisation in sub-paragraph (1) is subject to paragraph 18(1) to (3) (but only to the extent that it concerns paragraph 18(5) and (6)) and must only be granted where—
(a) HMRC have consulted the customs authorities for the airports of departure and destination other than HMRC and have received no notification from either authority, within 45 days from the communication, that the applicant does not fulfil one or more of the conditions for granting the authorisation;
(b) the applicant operates a significant number of flights between common transit state airports; and
(c) the applicant demonstrates the ability to ensure that the particulars of the electronic transport document are available to the customs office of departure for the airport of departure and to the customs office of destination for the airport of destination, and that those particulars are the same.
(3) Expressions used in this paragraph have the same meaning as corresponding expressions in Part 2.
