TIR Carnet System Experiences
The TIR Carnet system has allowed relatively smooth surface transport of goods across Europe, particularly between the European Union (EU) and nations to the East of it.
In the 21st century, the TIR system is being expanded to Asia and Africa.
It is hoped that, in the near future, seamless land-based transport and trade links connecting China and India to Europe would be established.
This website invites comments and experiences from actual users of the TIR Carnet systems in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere.
Early experiences with the electronic SafeTIR system and e-Customs are also sought.
Our goal is to collect real-life narratives and testimonials of experiences about the TIR system from transport companies, vehicles and train drivers, customs officials, railway and roadway safety and security personnel, exporters and importers, government agencies, chambers of commerce, residents near major highways and rail lines, motorists, and others.
Please post your comments!
Also, if you would like to be a major contributor to this blog, indicate that in a comment.
Thanks, everyone!!
