United Arab Emirates

Dear Member,

In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, it had been announced by our Union that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) recently started implementing the TIR Convention, thereby making it possible to carry out transports departing from and arriving in the UAE under the TIR Carnet, and that the first transport from the UAE to Türkiye under the TIR Carnet had been carried out.

This month, by loading a return cargo onto the vehicle that made the said transport, the first export product transport from our country (departing from Istanbul) to the UAE under the TIR Carnet has also been carried out.

Great benefits have also been achieved in terms of time and cost, and the journey was completed in 7 days, compared to sea voyages from the Marmara region to the Persian Gulf, which take on average 20 to 26 days. Thus, it may also become possible to avoid problems such as cost increases and delays in the delivery of goods, to which all stakeholders have been exposed due to the container shortage experienced worldwide, and to achieve significant savings.

Considering also that our bilateral trade with the UAE has had a volume of approximately 9.500.000.000 US Dollars on average over the last 5 years, it is considered that this development will contribute to the development of intermodal transport in import and export operations.
