Question: What actions do Customs take at the office of destination? Answer: Customs will check that the seals affixed to the TIR load compartment are intact, have not been tampered with and that their identifying number matches what is stated on the TIR Carnet voucher. Customs will examine the truck to ensure that the load has not been interfered with en route. Customs will then break the seals, supervise the unloading of the goods and, on the basis of risk, may carry out a physical examination of the goods to ensure that the quality and quantity of the goods conforms to their description in the TIR Carnet. If satisfied, Customs will certify the termination of the TIR operation by completing and stamping the relevant green voucher 2 and its counterfoil in the TIR Carnet. The TIR Carnet will then be returned to the TIR Carnet Holder. The upper part of the green voucher 2 is retained by the Customs office of destination, and the lower part (also known as the certificate of termination)
