BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 16. Customs declarations of cargo carriers who use TIR Carnets (Transport International Routier) are now issued free of charge and in automatic mode, without using the services of a customs broker, Trend reports with reference to the press service of the State Customs Service of Turkmenistan.
Tthis became possible thanks to the integration of the international information system (TIR-EPD), which uses TIR Carnets, and the ASYCUDA platform used in Turkmenistan.
Preliminary electronic data from the TIR-EPD is automatically transmitted to the Turkmen side, so carriers no longer need to re-issue customs declarations when crossing the border of Turkmenistan.
Furthermore, special "Green Corridors" have been created at the customs posts of Turkmenistan, where cargo carriers with TIR Carnets are serviced as a priority.
