TIR Treaty
TIR stands for “Transport Internationale Routiers” which in English means International Road Transport. It is an international transit system allowing goods to travel across one or more international borders with the minimum of customs involvement.
As from 1 October 2001 there are 64 Contracting Parties to the TIR Convention, including the European Community. It is, however, only possible to establish a TIR operation with 52 of these countries as the rest do not have an approved guarantee association (see section 11 for details). Goods that are moved under TIR can pass to or through these countries without paying customs duties and other taxes and without the need for unloading/reloading at frontiers.
In order to ensure that goods may travel with a minimum intervention en route and yet offer maximum safeguards for Customs administrations in all countries of transit, the TIR regime contains five basic requirements or principles.
