What is TIR International Cross Border Truck?

TIR is a global customs clearance system for cargo transport based on the Convention on International Road Transport (also known as TIR Convention) of the United Nations. It aims to simplify customs clearance procedures, improve customs clearance efficiency and enhance the level of global trade facilitation. Our country formally joined the TIR Convention in 2016. The International Road Transport Union (IRU) is mandated by the United Nations to manage the TIR system globally so that approved vehicles with TIR permits can move easily between TIR countries. Currently, there are 76 TIR parties worldwide, most of which are located along the Silk Road Economic Belt.

What clearance procedures are required for TIR:

"When the TIR goods go through the customs formalities on the way, the customs of each country only needs to check the TIR certificate information and check the customs seal of the carrying unit, so that the goods can be released directly without unpacking inspection to reduce the detention time of the goods at the port and reduce the transportation cost of enterprises.

It is known that the average transport time of TIR between China and Europe is 10-15 days, which is 1 week faster than that of railway, 2 weeks faster than that of sea transport, and 1 week slower than that of air transport, but the average transport cost is less than 50% of that of air transport. Compared with transport modes such as air transport, sea transport and railway, TIR transport also has the characteristics of less dependence on infrastructure, flexibility and convenient loading and unloading. Especially suitable for high unit price of goods, high requirements of goods transportation. At present, sea freight and air freight continue to rise, in order to ease the negative impact of energy shortage on import and export trade, TIR transportation is a good choice for export enterprises.
