What should happen if goods being transported under TIR are stolen en route?
Question: What should happen if goods being transported under TIR are stolen en route? Answer: The TIR Carnet Holder must report the matter to the national Customs authorities and/or police, depending on national rules. The competent authorities will complete the certified report (procès-verbal) in the TIR Carnet. If the theft did not involve negligence on the part of the TIR Carnet Holder, and if the directly liable person cannot be identified, the duties and taxes due will be paid by the international chain of guarantee. It is the TIR Holder\’s responsibility to make sure that the TIR Carnet is properly discharged, in co-operation with the national TIR Association and the Customs authorities concerned. Failure to do so will lead to a liability for the payment of any claims that may arise.
