TIR System resumes in Russia until 1 July 2014
Permission of transports to and through Russia until 1 July 2014 via Carnet TIR continued, potential practical problems expected
The Federal Customs Service of Russia (FCS RF) has officially notified on 30 November the Russian TIR guaranteeing association ASMAP about the extension of its agreement until 1 July 2014.
In line with the TIR Convention, Russian customs authorities must therefore continue to accept TIR Carnets at the Russian borders including after 1 December 2013. Considering this very late announcement from the FCS RF and the lack of available details, practical problems are still likely to take place at some border-crossing points in Russia over the next few days.
The IRU will publish further information as soon as it becomes available.
