BEIJING, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — Tacheng Prefecture in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region launched two TIR (Transport International Road) routes on Wednesday, starting from Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, crossing the border at Baktu Port in the prefecture and eventually reaching Almaty in Kazakhstan and Moscow in Russia, respectively, the prefecture's press service said.
Recently, four trucks loaded with mechanical equipment, inspection equipment, fresh flowers and other goods left Shenyang and headed to Almaty and Moscow respectively, marking the launch of the two routes.
TIR is an international system that simplifies the transportation of goods between countries. Within its framework, the goods are sealed at the starting point of the route and checked only upon arrival at the destination, and at intermediate border crossings, checkpoint officers only check the TIR carnet data and the customs stamp for the vehicle. This reduces the travel time and reduces possible risks associated with administrative customs control procedures and damage to the goods. China joined the TIR Convention in July 2016.
Following the launch of a simplified customs clearance model at the Baktu checkpoint on 20 July, a corridor was created for TIR vehicles, which allows for preliminary verification of declared information electronically and checking of seals in order to speed up customs clearance.
The corridor will greatly reduce the time it takes to clear customs and greatly improve logistics efficiency, said Chen Weilong, an official with the Tacheng County Key Pilot Zone Administration for Development and Opening-up. -0-
