Article 1
|
0.1 (b)
|
The fees and charges excepted in article 1, subparagraph (b) mean all sums, other
than import or export duties and taxes, levied by Contracting Parties on or in connexion
with importation or exportation. These sums shall be limited in amount to the approximate
cost of the services rendered and shall not represent an indirect protection to domestic
products or a tax on imports or exports for fiscal purposes. Such fees and charges
include inter alia payments relating to:
-
- certificates of origin if they are required for transit
-
- analyses carried out by Customs laboratories for control purposes
-
- Customs inspections and other clearance operations carried out outside normal working
hours or away from Customs offices
-
- inspections for sanitary, veterinary of phytopathological reasons.
|
0.1 (e)
|
The term 'demountable body' means a load compartment which has no means of locomotion
and which is designed in particular to be transported upon a road vehicle, the chassis
of which, together with the underframing of the body is especially adapted for this
purpose. It covers also a swap body which is a load compartment designed especially
for combined road and rail transport.
|
0.1 (e) (i)
|
The term “partially enclosed”, as applied to equipment in article 1, subparagraph
(e) (i), relates to equipment generally consisting of a floor and a superstructure
marking off a loading space equivalent to that of a closed container. The superstructure
is generally made up of metal members forming the frame of a container. Containers
of this type may also comprise one or more lateral or frontal walls. In some cases
there is only a roof attached to the floor by uprights. This type of container is
used in particular for the transport of bulky goods (motor cars, for example).
|
0.2
|
Article 2
|
|
Article 2 provides that a transport operation under cover of a TIR carnet may begin
and end in the same country on condition that part of the journey is performed in
foreign territory. In such cases there is nothing to prevent the Customs authorities
of the country of departure from requiring, in addition to the TIR carnet, a national
document, intended to ensure duty-free reimportation of the goods. It is nevertheless
recommended that Customs authorities should not insist on the use of such a document
but accept instead an appropriate endorsement on the TIR carnet.
|
0.2-2
|
The provisions of this article allow goods to be carried under cover of a TIR carnet
when only part of the journey is made by road. They do not specify what part of the
journey has to be made by road and it is sufficient that this should occur at some
point between the beginning and the end of the TIR operation. However, it may happen
that, for unforeseen reasons of a commercial or accidental nature, no part of the
journey can be made by road, despite the intentions of the sender at the start of
the journey. In these exceptional cases the Contracting Parties shall nevertheless
accept the TIR carnet and the liability of the guaranteeing associations shall remain
in force.
|
0.5
|
Article 5
|
|
This article does not exclude the right to carry out spot checks on the goods but
stresses that these checks should be very limited in number. The international TIR
carnet procedure, in fact, provides protection greater than that given by national
procedures. Firstly the particulars on the TIR carnet relating to the goods must agree
with the particulars given on the Customs documents which may be required in the country
of departure. In addition the countries of transit and destination are given protection
by the controls which are carried out at departure and which are certified by the
Customs authorities at the office of departure. (See note below to article 19.)
|
0.6.2
|
Article 6, paragraph 2
|
|
Under the provisions of this paragraph, the Customs authorities of a country may approve
more than one association, each of which may incur liability arising from the operations
undertaken under cover of the carnets issued by it or by its corresponding associations.
|
0.8.2
|
Article 8, paragraph 2
|
|
The provisions of this paragraph shall be applicable where, in case of irregularities
of the type covered in article 8, paragraph 1, the laws and regulations of a Contracting
Party provide for the payment of sums other than import or export duties and taxes,
such as administrative fines or other pecuniary sanctions. However, the sum to be
paid shall not exceed the amount of import or export duties and taxes which would
have been due if the goods had been imported or exported in accordance with the relevant
customs provisions, this amount being increased by any default interests.
|
0.8.3
|
Article 8, paragraph 3
|
|
Customs authorities are recommended to limit to a sum equal to $ US 50,000 per TIR
carnet the maximum amount which may be claimed from the guaranteeing association.
In the case of transport of alcohol and tobacco, details of which are given below
and which exceed the threshold levels provided further below, Customs authorities
are recommended to increase the maximum amount which may be claimed from the guaranteeing
associations to a sum equal to $US 200,000:
-
(1) Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of 80% vol or higher
(HS code: 22.07.10)
-
(2) Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 80% vol;
spirits, liqueurs and other spirituous beverages; compound alcoholic preparations
of a kind used for the manufacture of beverages (HS code: 22.08)
-
(3) Cigars, cheroots and cigarillos, containing tobacco (HS code: 24.02.10)
-
(4) Cigarettes containing tobacco (HS code: 24.02.20)
-
(5) Smoking tobacco, whether or not containing tobacco substitutes in any proportion (HS
code: 24.03.10).
The maximum amount which may be claimed from guaranteeing associations is recommended
to be limited to a sum equal to $US 50,000, if the following quantities are not exceeded
for the above tobacco and alcohol categories:
-
1. 300 litres
-
2. 500 litres
-
3. 40,000 pieces
-
4. 70,000 pieces
-
5. 100 kilogrammes
The exact quantities (litres, pieces, kilogrammes) of the above categories of tobacco
and alcohol must be inscribed into the goods manifest of the TIR Carnet.
|
0.8.5
|
Article 8, paragraph 5
|
|
If the guarantee is questioned for goods not listed in the TIR Carnet, the administration
concerned should indicate the facts on which it based its opinion that the goods were
contained in the sealed section of the road vehicle or the sealed container.
|
0.8.6
|
Article 8, paragraph 6
|
|
-
1. In the absence in the TIR carnet of particulars detailed enough to enable charges
on the goods to be determined, the parties concerned may produce evidence of their
precise nature.
-
2. If no evidence is furnished, duties and taxes will be charged, not at a flat rate
unrelated to the nature of the goods, but at the highest rate applicable to the kind
of goods covered by the particulars in the TIR carnet.
|
0.10
|
Article 10
|
|
The certificate of discharge of the TIR carnet shall be regarded as having been obtained
in an improper or fraudulent manner when the TIR operation has been carried out by
means of load compartments or containers adapted for fraudulent purposes, or when
such malpractices as the use of false or inaccurate documents, the substitution of
goods, tampering with Customs seals, etc., have been discovered, or when the certificate
has been obtained by other illicit means.
|
0.11
|
Article 11
|
0.11-1
|
In deciding whether or not to release the goods or vehicle, Customs authorities should
not, when they have other means in law of protecting the interests for which they
are responsible, be influenced by the fact that the guaranteeing association is liable
for the payment of duties, taxes and default interest payable by the holder of the
carnet.
|
0.11-2
|
If a guaranteeing association is asked, in accordance with the procedure set out in
article 11, to pay the sums referred to in article 8, paragraphs 1 and 2, and fails
to do so within the time-limit of three months prescribed by the Convention, the competent
authorities may rely on national regulations in requiring payment of the sums in question
because what is involved in such cases is a failure to carry out a contract of guarantee
entered into by the guaranteeing association under national law.
|
0.15
|
Article 15
|
|
Certain difficulties may arise in the case of vehicles not subject to registration,
such as in some countries, trailers or semi-trailers, when Customs documents are not
required for temporary admission. In that case, the provisions of article 15 may be
observed, while assuring adequate protection for the Customs authorities, by recording
particulars of these vehicles (make and numbers) on vouchers 1 and 2 of the TIR carnet
used by the countries concerned and on the corresponding counterfoils.
|
0.17
|
Article 17
|
0.17-1
|
The provision that the manifest of the goods covered by the TIR carnet shall show
separately the contents of each vehicle of a combination of vehicles, or of each container,
is only intended to simplify Customs inspection of the contents of each vehicle or
container. This provision shall not therefore be interpreted so rigidly that each
variation between the actual contents of a vehicle or container and the contents of
that vehicle or container as shown on the manifest is considered a breach of the provisions
of the Convention. If the carrier can satisfy the relevant authorities that, notwithstanding
such a variation, all the goods shown on the manifest agree with the total of goods
loaded in the combination of vehicles or in all the containers covered by the TIR
carnet, this shall not normally be considered a breach of Customs requirements.
|
0.17-2
|
In the case of household removals, the procedure laid down in paragraph 10 (c) of
the Rules for the use of the TIR carnet can be applied, the list of articles concerned
being reasonably condensed.
|
0.18
|
Article 18
|
0.18-1
|
It is essential for the smooth operation of the TIR procedure that the Customs authorities
of one country should refuse to designate a Customs office of exit as a Customs office
of destination for a transport operation which is going on to a neighbouring country
when that country is also a Contracting Party to this Convention, unless there are
some special circumstances to justify the request.
|
0.18-2
|
-
1. Goods should be so loaded that the consignment to be unloaded at the first unloading
point can be taken out of the vehicle or the container without it being necessary
to unload the other consignment or consignments of goods due to be unloaded at the
other unloading points.
-
2. Where a transport operation involves unloading at more than one office it is necessary
that, after a partial unloading, a record of it should be made in box 12 on all the
remaining manifests of the TIR carnet, and at the same time another record should
be made on the remaining vouchers and the corresponding counterfoils to the effect
that new seals have been affixed.
|
0.19
|
Article 19
|
|
The requirement that the Customs office of departure should check the accuracy of
the goods manifest implies the need to verify at least that the particulars in the
goods manifest tally with those in the export documents and in the transport or other
commercial documents relating to the goods; the Customs office of departure may also
have to examine the goods. The Customs office of departure must also, before affixing
seals, check the condition of the road vehicle or container and, in the case of sheeted
vehicles or containers, the condition of the sheets and sheet fastenings, as this
equipment is not included in the certificate of approval.
|
0.20
|
Article 20
|
|
When fixing time-limits for the transport of goods within their territory, Customs
authorities must likewise take into account inter alia any special regulations to which carriers are subject, particularly regulations concerning
working hours and mandatory rest periods for drivers of road vehicles. It is recommended
that these authorities should exercise their right to prescribe a route only when
they consider it essential.
|
0.21
|
Article 21
|
|
The provisions of this article do not restrict the right of Customs authorities to
examine all parts of a vehicle other than the sealed load compartment.
|
0.21-2
0.21-3
|
The Customs office of entry may turn back the carrier to the Customs office of exit
of the adjacent country if it finds that no clearance has been given by that office
or that clearance has not been given in due form. In such cases the Customs office
of entry inserts a note in the TIR carnet for the Customs office of exit concerned.
If in the course of an examination, Customs authorities draw samples of goods, a note
recording full particulars of the goods taken must be made by those authorities on
the goods manifest of the TIR carnet.
|
0.28
|
Article 28
|
|
-
1. Article 28 provides that discharge of the TIR carnet at the office of destination
shall take place without delay, on condition that the goods are placed under another
Customs procedure or cleared for home use.
-
2. The use of the TIR carnet must be restricted to the function which it was intended
to cover, namely the transit operation. The TIR carnet must not, for example, be used
to cover the storage of goods under Customs control at destination. Where no irregularity
has taken place, the office of destination must discharge the TIR carnet as soon as
the goods covered by the carnet have come under another Customs procedure or have
been cleared for home use. In practice discharge must be given as soon as the goods
have been directly reexported (as, for example, when they are shipped on arrival at
a port), or as soon as a declaration for Customs purposes has been made at the place
of destination, or as soon as the goods have been received into a place approved for
storage while awaiting a declaration for Customs purposes (for example, a transit
shed), in accordance with the regulations in force in the country of destination.
|
0.29
|
Article 29
|
|
No certificate of approval is required for road vehicles or containers transporting
heavy or bulky goods. It is, nevertheless, the responsibility of the Customs office
of departure to make sure that the other conditions laid down in this article for
this type of transport operation are met. Customs offices of other Contracting Parties
shall accept the decision of the Customs office of departure unless in their opinion
it is clearly in conflict with the provisions of article 29.
|
0.38-1
|
Article 38, paragraph 1
|
|
A business enterprise should not be excluded from the TIR system because of offences
committed by one of its drivers without the knowledge of the management.
|
0.39
|
Article 39
|
|
The expression “mistakes committed through negligence” is to be taken to mean acts
which, although not committed deliberately and in full knowledge of the facts, are
due to a failure to take reasonable and necessary steps to ensure the accuracy of
the facts in any particular case.
|
0.45
|
Article 45
|
|
Contracting Parties are recommended to make the largest possible number of Customs
offices, both inland and at the frontier, available for dealing with TIR operations.

ANNEX 1
|
1.10 (c)
|
Rules regarding the use of the TIR carnet
|
|
No. 10 (c) of the rules regarding the use of the TIR carnet permits the use of loading
lists as annex to the TIR carnet even when there would otherwise be enough space in
the manifest to enter all the goods carried. However, this is permissible only if
the loading lists contain all the particulars required by the goods manifest in legible
and recognizable form and all other provisions of Rule 10 (c) are complied with.

ANNEX 2
|
2.2
|
Article 2
|
2.2.1 (a)
|
Subparagraph 1 (a) - Assembly of constituent parts
|
|
-
(a) Where joining devices (rivets, screws, bolts and nuts, etc.) are used, a sufficient
number of such devices shall be inserted from outside, traverse the assembled constituent
parts, protrude inside and there be firmly secured (e.g. riveted, welded, bushed or
bolted and swaged or welded on the nut). However, conventional rivets (i.e. rivets
whose placing requires handling from both sides of the assembly of constituent parts)
may also be inserted from the inside. Notwithstanding the above, load compartment
floors may be secured by means of self-tapping screws, self-drilling rivets or rivets
inserted by means of an explosive charge or pins inserted pneumatically, when placed
from inside and passing at right-angles through the floor and the metallic cross-pieces
underneath, on condition, except in the case of self-tapping screws, that some of
their ends be flush with the level of the outside part of the cross-piece or be welded
on to it.
-
(b) The competent authority shall determine what joining devices, and how many of them,
must fulfil the requirements of subparagraph (a) of this note; they shall do so by
making sure that the constituent parts so assembled cannot be displaced and replaced
without leaving obvious traces. The choice and placing of other joining devices are
not subject to any restriction.
-
(c) Joining devices which can be removed and replaced from one side without leaving obvious
traces, i.e. without requiring handling from both sides of the constituent parts to
be assembled, shall not be allowed under subparagraph (a) of this note. Examples of
such devices are expansion rivets, blind rivets and the like.
-
(d) The assembly methods described above shall apply to special vehicles, for example
to insulated vehicles, refrigerated vehicles and tank-vehicles in so far as they are
not incompatible with the technical requirements which such vehicles must fulfil having
regard to their use. Where, due to technical reasons, it is not practicable to secure
parts in the manner described in subparagraph (aj of this note, the constituent parts
may be joined by means of the devices mentioned in subparagraph (c) of this note provided
that the devices used on the inner face of the wall are not accessible from the outside.
|
2.2.1 (b)
|
Subparagraph 1 (b) - Doors and other closing systems
|
|
-
(a) The device on which Customs seals can be fixed must:
-
(i) be secured by welding, or by not less than two joining devices conforming to subparagraph
(a) of explanatory note 2.2.1 (a) ; or
-
(ii) be so designed that when the load compartment has been closed and sealed the device
cannot be removed without leaving obvious traces.
It must also:
-
(iii) incorporate holes of not less than 11 mm in diameter or slots of at least 11 mm in
length by 3 mm in width, and
-
(iv) afford equal security whatever type of seal is used.
-
(b) But hinges, strap hinges, hinge-pins and other devices for hanging doors and the like
must be secured in conformity with the requirements of subparagraphs (a) (i) and (ii)
of this note. Moreover, the various components of such devices (e.g. hinge plates,
pins or swivels), provided that they are necessary to guarantee customs security of
the load compartment*, shall be so fitted that they cannot be removed or dismantled
when the load compartment is closed and sealed without leaving obvious traces. However,
where such a device is not accessible from outside it will suffice if, when the door
or the like has been closed and sealed, it cannot be detached from the hinge or similar
device without leaving obvious traces. Where a door or closure-device has more than
two hinges, only those two hinges nearest to the extremities of the door need to be
fixed in conformity with the requirements of subparagraph (a) (i) and (ii) above.
-
c) Exceptionally, in the case of vehicles having insulated load compartments, the Customs
sealing device, the hinges and any fittings, the removal of which would give access
to the interior of the load compartment or to spaces in which goods could be concealed,
may be fixed to the doors of such load compartments by means of the following systems:
-
(i) Set bolts or set screws which are inserted from the outside but which do not otherwise
meet the requirements of Explanatory Note 2.2.1 (a), subparagraph (a) above, on condition
that:
the tails of the set bolts or set crews are fixed into a tapping plate or similar
device fitted behind the outer layer or layers of the door structure: and
the heads of the appropriate number of set bolts or set screws are so welded to the
Customs sealing device, hinges etc., that they are completely deformed and that the
set bolts or set screws cannot be removed without leaving visible signs of tampering
(see sketch No. 1 appended to this annex).
-
(ii) A fastening device which is inserted from the inside of the insulated door construction
on condition that:
the fastening pin and securing collar of the device are assembled by pneumatic or
hydraulic tooling and fixed behind a plate or similar device fitted between the outer
layer of the door structure and the insulation; and
the head of the fastening pin is not accessible from the inside of the load compartment;
and
a sufficient number of securing collars and fastening pins are welded together and
the devices cannot be removed without leaving visible signs of tampering (see sketch
No. 5 appended to this annex).
The term 'insulated load compartment' is to be taken to include refrigerated and isothermic
load compartments.
-
(d) Vehicles comprising a large number of such closures as valves, stopcocks, manhole
covers, flanges and the like must be designed so as to keep the number of Customs
seals to a minimum. To this end, neighbouring closures must be interconnected by a
common device requiring only one Customs seal, or must be provided with a cover meeting
the same purpose.
-
(e) Vehicles with opening roofs must be constructed in such a manner as to permit sealing
with a minimum number of Customs seals.
|
2.2.1 (c)-l
|
Subparagraph 1 (c) - Ventilation apertures
|
|
-
(a) Their greatest dimension must, in principle, not exceed 400 mm.
-
b) Apertures permitting direct access to the load compartment, must be obstructed
-
(i) by means of wire gauze or perforated metal screens (maximum dimension of holes 3 mm
in both cases) and protected by welded metal lattice-work (maximum dimension of holes:
10 mm); or
-
(ii) by means of a single perforated metal screen of sufficient strength (maximum dimension
of holes: 3 mm; thickness of the screen: at least 1 mm).
-
c) Apertures not permitting direct access to the load compartment (e.g. because of elbow
or baffle-plate systems) must be provided with devices referred to in subparagraph
(b), in which, however, the dimensions of the holes may be as much as 10 mm (for the
wire gauze or metal screen) and 20 mm (for the metal lattice-work).
-
(d) Where openings are made in sheets, the devices referred to in subparagraph (b) of
this note must in principle be prescribed. However, blocking devices in the form of
a perforated metal screen fitted outside, and wire or other gauze fitted inside, will
be allowed.
-
(e) Identical non-metal devices may be allowed provided that the holes are of the requisite
dimensions and the material used is strong enough to prevent the holes from being
substantially enlarged without visible damage. In addition, it must be impossible
to replace the ventilation device by working from one side of the sheet only.
-
(f) The ventilation aperture may be provided with a protective device. This shall be secured
to the sheet in such a way as to permit Customs inspection of the aperture. This protective
device shall be secured to the sheet at a distance of not less than 5 cm from the
screen of the ventilation aperture.
|
2.2.1 (c)-2
|
Subparagraph 1 (c) - Drainage apertures
|
|
-
(a) Their greatest dimension must, in principle, not exceed 35 mm.
-
(b) Apertures permitting direct access to the load compartment must be provided with the
devices described in subparagraph (b) of explanatory note 2.2.1 (c)-1 for ventilation
apertures.
-
(c) When drainage apertures do not permit direct access to the load compartment, the devices
referred to in subparagraph (b) of this note will not be prescribed, on condition
that the apertures are provided with a reliable baffle system readily accessible from
inside the load compartment.
|
2.2.3
|
Paragraph 3 - safety glass
|
|
Glass shall be considered to be safety glass if there is no risk of it being destroyed
as a result of any factor ordinarily occurring in the normal conditions of use of
a vehicle. The glass shall bear a mark which characterizes it as safety glass.
|
2.3
|
Article 3
|
2.3.3
|
Paragraph 3 - Sheets made up of several pieces
|
|
-
(a) The several pieces constituting one sheet may be made of different materials conforming
to the provisions of annex 2, article 3, paragraph 2.
-
(b) Any arrangement of the pieces which adequately guarantees security will be allowed
in making up the sheet, on condition that the pieces are assembled in conformity with
the requirements of annex 2, article 3.
|
2.3.6 (a) -1
|
Subparagraph 6 (a) - Vehicles with sliding rings
|
|
Metal securing rings sliding on metal bars fixed to the vehicles are acceptable for
the purpose of this paragraph (see sketch No. 2 appended to this annex) provided that:
-
(a) the bars are affixed to the vehicle at maximum spacings of 60 cms and in such a manner
that they cannot be removed and replaced without leaving obvious traces;
-
(b) the rings are made with a double hoop or equipped with a central bar and made in one
piece without the use of welding; and
-
(c) the sheet is fixed to the vehicle in strict compliance with the conditions set forth
in annex 2, article 1 (a) of this Convention.
|
2.3.6 (a) -2
|
Subparagraph 6 (a) - Vehicles with swivel rings
|
|
Metal swivel rings, each of which rotates in a metal bracket fixed to the vehicle
are acceptable for the purpose of this paragraph (see sketch No. 2a appended to this
annex) provided that:
-
(a) each bracket is affixed to the vehicle in such a manner that it cannot be removed
and replaced without leaving obvious traces; and
-
(b) the spring under each bracket is completely enclosed by a bell-shaped metal cover.
|
2.3.6 (b)
|
Subparagraph 6 (b) - Permanently-secured sheets
|
|
Where one or more edges of the sheet are permanently attached to the body of the vehicle,
the sheet shall be held in place by one or more strips of metal or other suitable
material secured to the body of the vehicle by joining devices meeting the requirements
of subparagraph (a) of note 2.2.1 (a) of this annex.
|
2.3.8
|
Paragraph 8 - Spaces between the rings and between the eyelets
|
|
Spaces exceeding 200 mm but not exceeding 300 mm are acceptable over the uprights
if the rings are recessed in the side boards and the eyelets are oval and so small
that they can just pass over the rings.
|
2.3.9
|
Paragraph 9 - Textile-cored steel fastening ropes
|
|
For purposes of this paragraph, ropes comprising a textile core surrounded by at least
four strands consisting solely of steel wire and completely covering the core will
be allowed on condition that the ropes (without taking into account the transparent
plastic sheath, if any) are not less than 3 mm in diameter.
|
2.3.11 (a)-1
|
Subparagraph 11 (a) — Sheet-tensioning flaps
|
|
The sheets of many vehicles are provided on the outside with a horizontal flap pierced
by eyelets running along the length of the side of the vehicle. Such flaps, known
as tensioning flaps, are used to tauten the sheet by means of tensioning cords or
similar devices. Such flaps have been used to conceal horizontal slits made in the
sheets giving improper access to the goods carried in the vehicle. It is therefore
recommended that the use of flaps of this type should not be allowed. The following
devices may be used instead:
-
(a) tensioning flaps of similar design fixed on the inside of the sheet; or
-
(b) small individual flaps each pierced by one eyelet secured to the outside surface of
the sheet and spaced at such distances as will permit an adequate tensioning of the
sheet.
Alternatively, it may be possible in certain cases to avoid the use of tensioning
flaps on sheets.
|
2.3.11 (c)
|
Subparagraph 11 (c) - Sheet thongs
|
2.3.11 (a)-2
|
The following materials are regarded as suitable for making thongs:
-
(a) (a) leather;
-
(b) (b) non-tensile textile materials including plastic-covered or rubberized cloth, provided
that such materials cannot after severance be welded or reconstituted without leaving
obvious traces. Furthermore, the plastic material used to cover thongs shall be transparent
and smooth-surfaced.
|
2.3.11 (a)-3
|
The device shown in sketch No. 3 appended to this annex meets the requirements of
the last part of annex 2, article 3, paragraph 11 (a). It also meets the requirements
of annex 2, article 3, paragraph 6.
|

|
ANNEX 3
|
3.07.17
|
Approval procedure
|
|
-
1. Annex 3 provides that the competent authorities of a Contracting Party may issue a
certificate of approval in respect of a vehicle constructed within its territory and
that no additional approval procedures shall be applied in respect of such a vehicle
in the country where it is registered or, as the case may be, where the owner is resident.
-
2. These provisions are not intended to restrict the right of the competent authorities
of the Contracting Party where the vehicle is registered or where the owner is resident
to require the production of such a certificate of approval either at importation
or subsequently for purposes connected with the registration or control of the vehicle
or with similar legal requirements.
|
3.02.20
|
Procedure for endorsement of the certificate of approval
|
|
When an endorsement concerning defects is to be cancelled after the vehicle has been
restored to a satisfactory state, it is sufficient to state, under item No. 11 provided
for the purpose, “Defects rectified” followed by the name, signature and stamp of
the competent authority concerned.
|
8.13.1-1
|
Financial arrangements
|
|
Following an initial period of two years, the Contracting Parties to the Convention
envisage the operation of the TIR Executive Board and the TIR secretariat to be financed
through the Regular Budget of the United Nations. This does not preclude a prolongation
of the initial financing arrangement should financing from the United Nations or alternative
sources not be forthcoming.
|
8.13.1-2
|
Operation of the TIR Executive Board
|
|
The work of the members of the TIR Executive Board will be financed by their respective
Governments.
|
