What is the TIR System?
Only truly global multilateral facilitation instrument for international transport and trade
Based on TIR Convention of 1975 Currently signed by 68 contracting parties around
the world, with the possibility to be implemented multi-modally (road-rail, road-maritime, road-air)

IRU TIR IT Related Risk Management Tools
Page 7 (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2012
TIR-IT tools developed by IRU to secure the TIR system
True private-public partnership with national authorities to reinforce the security of the TIR system and to gradually computerize all processes
Tremendous progress has been achieved over the past years. Today all information related to a TIR transport :
1. can be sent in advance via internet by the operator directly to the customs with the TIR-EPD IT application
2. can be consulted online by customs with the CuteWise IT application
3. is sent in real-time to the IRU after due termination of the TIR transport with the RTS IT software
THESE IT TOOLS ARE DEVELOPPED AND FINANCED BY THE IRU TO MINIMISE THE RISK OF TIR IRREGULARITIES AND TO FACILITATE BORDER-CROSSING PROCEDURES

TIR-EPD : Background
Today despite requirements for advance cargo information and risk assessment border crossing procedures
• Un-adapted
• Result in long waiting times
• Additional transport costs
• Negative effects on security
Therefore, the IRU has developed TIR-EPD based solution to increase efficiency of customs procedures at the border

Electronic advance cargo infosubmission single window concept
Benefits: TIR-EPD facilitates pre-
arrival risk analysis and makes
border crossings simpler, more
secure and faster

TIR-EPD vs TIR Carnet
TIR-EPD = TIR Carnet + any additional data required by national customs for security purposes – no more need for customs to key-in data manually

General TIR-EPD Statistics
Page 13 (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2012
• From 1 Jan 2012 to 31 October 2012 in total more than 350’000 TIR-EPD’s were sent.
• This means the economy of
- 15 million EUR saved for pre-declaration broker fees
- Huge time saved at border-crossing points
•This also means a 230% increase in TIR-EPD usage in 2012 compared to 2011.

TIR- EPD Green Lanes Background
TIR as a transit customs systems aims at facilitating international road transport under customs control
Legal obligation of providing transit (TIR) data electronically was introduced to allow advanced Risk Assessment by customs, and therefore further trade facilitation
IRU developed free of charge TIR-EPD to allow TIR Carnet Holders to continue to benefit from TIR facilitation
Page 16 (c) International Road Transport Union (IRU) 2012
TIR-EPD Green lanes to further promote secure trade
Background of the IRU initiative:
WCO SAFE Framework: advance cargo information
EU legislation:• Transit Customs data must be sent electronically (NCTS)• Security declarations must be sent electronically
(ENS-EXS-NCTS)
Euro-Asian Customs Union: • Transit Customs declarations must be sent electronically
National legislation (68 Contracting Parties):• National requirements and Portals

TIR-EPD Green Lanes
Dedicated lanes on both sides of the border : no new infrastructure needed
Required cargo and transit data transmitted through IRU TIR-EPD application:
• Prior to truck arrival • By Identified operator (TIR Carnet
Holder)• Data complies with customs
requirements

TIR-EPD Green Lanes
Advance risk assessment performed by customs based on TIR-EPD data received in advance
Customs controls are applied based on the level of risk assessed
TIR-EPD Green Lanes benefit all transit traffic at a particular border crossing point

TIR EPD
More effective and reliable customs controls based on
complete information received from authorized and trusted
road carriers (TIR Carnet Holders)
Security of transit through enhanced focus on “high-risk”
consignments
Efficient allocation of customs resources
