Description of the Online Subject - TIR Convention, International road transport

The TIR Convention (Transports Internationaux Routiers, in French) allows transporting goods through several countries (transit country) through containers or cargo compartments previously sealed and controlled by customs with a single document (TIR Carnet).

The TIR Convention is practically global.

The main advantages of the TIR Convention are:

  1. Reduction of customs, documentary or inspection procedures, which implies significant savings in time (up to 38%) and costs (up to 80%), both for carriers, for customs and therefore for the end customer
  2. It is estimated that some 34,000 logistics companies use the TIR system
  3. Number of countries adhering to the TIR Convention: 70
  4. The TIR is carried out with a single document: the TIR Carnet
  5. Allows electronic tracking
  6. Restricted to TIR Authorised Consignors and Consignees
  7. Insurance: maximum protection of € 100,000 for each logistics operation
