TIR
TIR Carnets for Road Transport
The TIR system is an international transit and guarantee system currently implemented in many countries. It enables goods to be transported from the country of origin, through transit countries, to the destination country in cargo compartments sealed by customs and monitored through a multilateral system mutually recognized by TIR countries. It is the easiest, safest, and most reliable way to transport goods across multiple international borders, saving time and money for transport operators and customs authorities. It is also a key to faster border crossings for truck drivers, reducing costs for transport companies and customs authorities. TIR directly supports the implementation of the main objectives of the World Trade Organization Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA), including measures that enhance transparency, the release of goods, freedom of transit, customs cooperation, and the publication and availability of information.
