The future of TIR is with eTIR.\u201d<br \/>\nFrom Iranian customs, Mostafa Ayati said, \u00ab\u00a0We look forward to expanding the project to the neighbouring and other TIR contracting parties, so all could benefit from this facilitation tool.\u00a0\u00bb<br \/>\nThe first eTIR pilot project was led by the Turkish and Iranian customs authorities, two pioneer volunteer transport operators and the two countries\u2019 respective TIR Guaranteeing Associations, ICCIMA and TOBB, working together with IRU and the UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). eTIR was tested along one transport corridor between the two countries, in which 31 eTIR pilot transports were conducted.<br \/>\nPhase one eTIR pilot transports have demonstrated that eTIR is 100% reliable, inexpensive to implement and requires only minor adjustments to existing customs\u2019 IT infrastructure. Phase two is extending the system to more transport operators, enabling associations and customs authorities to benefit from less data entry work, ease of implementation and advance risk assessment.<br \/>\nIRU will provide the Ukrainian authorities, with the necessary technical information to launch eTIR in the coming weeks and is working closely with IRU member, ASMAP UA.
