Computerisation of TIR

procedures

As the implementing partner of TIR system since 60 years,

IRU has always been working to reinforce the security of the

TIR System through its computerisation:

By computerising the management of TIR carnets at the

levels of the Associations and the IRU

By computerising the exchange of TIR carnets termination

data and invalid carnets data amongst Customs, Associations

and IRU

By making available for Customs, online and free of charge,

the statuses of all TIR carnets (CUTE-Wise)

Page 2 (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2010

The IRU pursues its efforts with the objective to

computerise the whole TIR carnet cycle, by

developing, free of charge for the users,

comprehensive tools to allow :

• Pre-declarations of TIR data for all Customs

• Online exchange of data between IRU and Customs on

TIR carnets status

2010 = key year for computerisation of TIR !

major progress was achieved in 2010 in many

countries in a move towards full computerisation of

TIR


1. Implementation of Real-Time SafeTIR (RTS) in Bulgaria,

Kazakhstan and Ukraine (France to follow)

2. Average SafeTIR transmission deadline down to 2 days

3. TIR-EPD now available in 11 countries

4. Agreements signed with major TIR countries to implement

RTS and TIR-EPD

5. Memorandum of Understanding between IRU and

UNCTAD


TIR computerisation –

2010 developments

2010 – Real-Time SafeTIR (RTS)

Allows real-time transmission of data and immediate detection of

fraud.

Customs query mechanism allows real-time check of the validity

of the TIR Carnet at any customs point.

RTS first implemented in Russian Federation in 2006: this

allowed the diminution of irregularities from 1’600 per year down

to 10 !

RTS implemented in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Bulgaria, France in

2010 (under testing in Bosnia Herzegovina).

RTS to be implemented in Georgia, Iran, Macedonia, Moldova,

Slovakia, Turkey, Uzbekistan etc.


2010 – Real-Time SafeTIR (RTS)

All TIR countries can easily

implement RTS !


Major reduction in the overall transmission

deadlines

For the first time, transmission deadline was

reduced to 2 days in second quarter of 2010

Unfortunately, this is not the case everywhere, …


2010 – SafeTIR transmission

2010 – SafeTIR transmission

deadline


Members of

Belarus/Kazakhstan/Russia

Customs union

European Union

1 day

4 days

Belgium: 30 days

Spain: 22 days

Netherlands: 10 days

Greece: 7 days

EU 15 = 5 days

New EU (10 +2) = 2 days

2010 – SafeTIR -

How to progress faster ?

1. Fully respect Annex 10 + New Best Practice

adopted by Administrative Committee in 2010

2. Implement RTS

3. Transmit data directly to IRU

4. For EU : automatically extract data through NCTS

+ contact other EU counterparts

for assistance


2010: TIR-EPD

IRU TIR-EPD developed in light of the WCO + EU

advanced cargo requirements

Free of charge, easy-to-use, secure application

Implemented in 8 EU countries in 2009

Implemented in Romania, Lithuania, and Latvia in 2010 :

now available in 11 countries (at EU external borders)

Under testing/development in: Belarus/Georgia/ Germany /

Kazakhstan/Moldova/Ukraine

To be implemented in: Greece/ Turkey / Russia and

others…

TIR-EDP + RTS + countries « under

implementation / discussion »

IRU - UNCTAD

IRU and UNCTAD signed a Memorandum of

Understanding (27 April 2010) outlining areas of future

cooperation between the two partner organisations

ASYCUDA World TIR© International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2010

MoU with UNCTAD

UNCTAD has developed the ASYCUDA customs system which

works in around 90 countries

ASYCUDA World contains a TIR module which already allows

transmission of SafeTIR data

Through the MoU with IRU, UNCTAD will develop a new version

of the TIR module which will allow automatic implementation of

RTS and TIR-EPD

Implementation planned in Moldova and Georgia by early 2011

Various Contracting Parties showed concrete interest

(Afghanistan, Syria, Iran)

Numerous current + future TIR countries WORLDWIDE could

benefit automatically and free of charge from TIR-EPD + RTS

through ASYCUDA World TIR


CONCLUSION

Major milestones have been achieved in

computerisation of TIR in 2010.

More progress can be easily made at national level

without costs for Contracting Parties.

Thanks to the TIR-IT tools implemented in

partnership with National Customs, TIR will soon

be 100% computerised and the electronic TIR

carnet will become reality !
