• Published: 21 February 2022

If you have a guarantee that covers transit movements through the EU, you can use the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS) to check the balance of your:

• guarantee waiver
• individual guarantee with multiple usage
• customs comprehensive guarantee

Before you start

You will need your:

• EORI number
• guarantee reference number
• access code — if you do not have your access code, contact the NCTS helpdesk

How to check your balance

To check the balance of your guarantee, you need to have a Government Gateway user ID and password.

The user ID must be the same as the one used to get your EORI number.

Service availability

HMRC services may be slow during certain times. Check if there are any problems with the NCTS.
