Quasi-transit trade is a term used to define goods imported into a Member State, cleared through customs for free circulation within the Union (and submitted to import duties) by an entity that is not considered as a resident institutional unit, and are then dispatched to another Member State.
Kaudtransiidi all mõistetakse kaupu, mille on liikmesriiki importinud ning tollis liidusiseseks vabaks ringluseks (ja impordimaksu kohaldamiseks) vormistanud üksus, keda ei käsitata residendist institutsionaalsete üksustena, ning mis on seejärel saadetud teise liikmesriiki.
