Question: Does the TIR Carnet Holder have to sign item 15 of every voucher by hand, as well as item 12 of the cover page, instead of using a stamp of his signature? Answer:
In accordance with the \”Rules regarding the use of the TIR Carnet\” (written in the TIR Carnet itself) it is stipulated in the item 12:Signature: All vouchers (items 14 and 15) must be dated and signed by the Holder of the TIR Carnet or his agent.
It is stipulated in the TIR Carnet Holder\’s Manual, Section 5, item 4, second bullet point:
- complete boxes 2-12 and sign and date boxes 14 and 15 on all \”volets\” including the yellow manifest.
Therefore, it is best if the Holder signs the TIR Carnet, event though it can be quite time-comsuming.
