Unit 6: Custom Clearance of Import and Export Cargo

Each TIR Carnet has a unique reference number. A TIR Carnet may have 4, 6, 14, or 20 vouchers, Notes
as one pair of vouchers is used per country; the number of vouchers indicates the number of
countries that can be transited, including the countries of departure and destination, under cover
of this type of Carnet, e.g. a 20-voucher Carnet may be used for a TIR transport through up to 10
countries.
Each individual TIR Carnet can be used for only one TIR transport. Once the TIR transport has
been terminated at the Customs office of destination of the goods, the driver is handed back
the TIR Carnet duly endorsed by the Customs authorities of destination. Customs authorities
must immediately confirm the termination of the TIR transport electronically via SafeTIR.
The TIR Carnet is returned to the Association and shipped to the IRU for final control and
archiving.
