TIR carnet use in Mongolia triples


Growing numbers of Mongolian transport firms are taking advantage of the facilitation and security benefits of the TIR system. Compared to 2019, the number of TIR carnets issued by the national road transport association of Mongolia has almost tripled in 2020.

 

China’s recent authorisation of meat imports from Mongolia and authorities in both countries encouraging the use of TIR has prompted the increase.

 

Given the important role that paperless TIR procedures can play in limiting the spread of Covid-19, Mongolian customs have also expressed interest in implementing digital tools. This can pave the way for the use of eTIR, the International Road Union (IRU) said. (ben)
