Features of TIR system
TIR is globally applicable,
and uses a single international guarantee, thus eliminating the need for costly
guarantees in each country of transit.
The TIR guarantee covers the
customs duties and taxes at risk, up to a maximum protection of EUR 100,000 per
transport operation, so customs authorities can be confident any duties they
are owed will be paid. In fact, the international guarantee chain can handle
exposure on any given day of up to EUR 600 million.
