The MoU establishes cooperation between the two TIR associations of the respective countries, concerning the organisation and performance-monitoring of initial TIR transports.
Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA) and Pakistan National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce (PNC-ICC) agree to perform the first TIR operations between the two countries and to structure a roadmap to identify any impediments, with recommendations on how to resolve them.
The MoU stipulates that TIR-EPD – a digital system for submitting advance information to the customs authorities of both countries – is used for the TIR transports performed in the framework of the project.
With Iran and Turkey having successfully completed a digital TIR pilot last year and given Pakistan’s capabilities to use digital TIR tools, there is strong potential for the Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul corridor to benefit from fully digital operations in the future.
