Transit Accompanying Document (TAD)
A Transit Accompanying Document (TAD) is a document that can be printed from the NCTS. It contains all the details of the declaration – such as consignor, consignee, MRN number and so on.
The Transit Accompanying Document (TAD) and Transit Security Accompanying Document (TSAD) have been merged into a single printable version. If security data is required, it will be integrated in the TAD.
However, it is not a requirement that the transit accompanying document accompanies the goods, unless a fallback procedure applies, but the carrier must at least be able to present the MRN for the transit declaration. However, it is recommended that the TAD accompanies the shipment as the authorised consignee has no other way of obtaining information about the goods before requesting unloading permission.
In case of printing, you need to print both the TAD and the List of Items (LoI). This is because there is no information about the goods in the TAD.
Note that the ‘Sequence number’ only needs to be printed when a field contains more than 1 occurrence.
