The UK has been invited to remain in the Common Transit Convention (CTC) after Brexit and the legislative changes needed to achieve that are passing through Parliament. Membership will continue to apply after the end of the implementation period.

Continued membership ensures simplified cross-border trade for UK businesses exporting and importing their goods.
