Question: What action do Customs take for TIR goods travelling en route to another TIR operational country? Answer: In many countries Customs controls are based on risk and so the actual checks will vary. However Customs will be expected to inspect the seals to ensure that they have not been tampered with en route. Customs will also check the truck and the integrity of the load compartment to ensure that the load has not been interfered with en route by the removal or introduction of additional goods. Customs will also check the TIR Carnet and accompanying documents and the validity of the road vehicle approval certificate. Details on actions and steps to be taken at every stage of a TIR transport are explained in a guide on how to fill in the TIR Carnet which is available to be downloaded free of charge from the IRU bookshop – click here.
