What is the validity of TIR Carnets and validity of Road Vehicle Certificate?
Question: What is the validity of TIR Carnets and validity of Road Vehicle Certificate? Answer: The Road Vehicle Approval Certificate must be valid until the end of the TIR operation. Usually the certificate is issued for a period of two years, after which it will have to be renewed. The TIR Carnet must be valid on the date the goods are taken into Customs control (that is accepted) at the office of departure. It is then valid for the rest of the TIR transport. The maximum length of time for taking the TIR Carnet into charge is set by the Holder’s Association, and cannot exceed 60 days after the day of issuance. A TIR Carnet issued under special circumstances with the approval of the Holder’s Association to a foreign Holder is valid for a maximum of 10 days.
