Question: Can Customs require TIR goods to be escorted? Answer: Customs should not normally require TIR transports to be escorted unless there is an increased risk of fraud that can be prevented by imposing escorts. The use of escorts should not be systematic. Article 23 of the TIR Convention refers.

For information, under Article 20 of the TIR Convention Customs may fix time limits and prescribed routes to be followed by goods travelling under a TIR Carnet. If this is required, the details should be entered into field 20 of the vouchers of the TIR Carnet.
