  • The first shipment under the United Nations ‘Transports Internationaux Routiers’ (TIR) convention arrived in India from Afghanistan through Chabahar Port of Iran.
  • International shipments moved under TIR convention are subjected to minimal checks by customs officials.
  • Reciprocal recognition of Customs is at the heart of TIR Convention.
  • The customs officials only verify the document and check the seal without requiring physical checking of the contents.
  • This enables shipments to pass through countries without being opened at borders.
  • The convention acts as a strong catalyst for moving goods using the multi-modal transportation route like Chabahar and International North-South Transport (INSTC) Corridor.
