The Convention on Common Transit is a treaty between the countries of the European Union and a number of other countries for common procedures for international transit of goods,[1] thus simplifying or eliminating much of the paperwork normally associated with moving goods across international borders.[2]

As of August 2020, the countries of the convention were the 27 EU member states, the four European Free Trade Association member states, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Turkey.[1][3]

The United Kingdom, formerly part of the European Union, remained part of the Common Transit Convention when the Brexit transition period ended.[4]

In June 2022, Ukraine altered its domestic law to be in conformity with EU customs rules for the purpose of later joining the convention.[5] The Common Transit Convention came into force in Ukraine on Oct 1st, 2022.[6]
