First Transport from the United Arab Emirates to Our Country under the TIR Carnet

Dear Member,

In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, it is stated that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) recently acceded to the TIR Convention, thereby making it possible to carry out transports departing from and arriving in the UAE under the TIR Carnet. 

The first transport from the UAE to Türkiye under the TIR Carnet has been carried out.

The said transport has the nature of intermodal transport, as it also includes a sea leg crossing the Persian Gulf. The vehicle departed from the city of Ras al Khaimah in the UAE, passed into Iran, entered our country through the Gürbulak border gate and reached its destination, İskenderun.

The route travelled provides great benefits in terms of time and cost. It will reduce the delivery time to 6 to 8 days, compared to sea voyages from the Gulf region to our country, which take on average 21 days, and may also make it possible to avoid the cost increases and delivery delays caused by the container shortage experienced worldwide.

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.
