Switzerland to adopt eTIR
The Swiss federal council has given the green light for the inclusion of the electronic TIR procedure (eTIR) in the customs convention on the international transport of goods under cover of TIR carnets.
Subject to approval by the other 75 contracting parties, the supplemented TIR convention will enter into effect on 25 May 2021.
The TIR convention applies to the international transport of goods by road, without intermediate reloading in road vehicles, combinations of vehicles or containers, across one or more frontiers between a customs office of departure of one contracting party and a customs office of destination of another or the same contracting party. The TIR carnet is used as the customs document accompanying the goods. (ben)
