e-TIR Convention Established With Pakistan

The Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration said it has exported a first cargo to Pakistan through the southeastern Mirjaveh Customs Office under cover of the electronic TIR Convention—the Convention on International Transport of Goods Under Cover of TIR Carnets. E-TIR system allows the two countries to have access to all related information at any time and view the information of cargo before delivery, which is useful for both sides and decreases the risk of deception, accelerates customs formalities and reduces costs, IRICA’s website reported. TIR Convention is a multilateral treaty concluded in Geneva on Nov. 14, 1975, to simplify and harmonize the administrative formalities of international road transport.
