Authorised Consignor Practice

Dear Member,

With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, TIR Carnet departure, exit and arrival procedures carried out within the framework of the 1975 TIR Convention and the Customs General Communiqué (TIR Procedures) Serial No. 1 are conducted by the relevant customs administrations.

With the amendment made to the Regulation on the Facilitation of Customs Procedures, within the scope of the authorised consignor practice introduced to facilitate the procedures of TIR Carnet holders, the requirement to physically send TIR Carnets to the customs administration for the necessary registration procedures has been abolished. 

In this context, authorised consignor procedures under the TIR Carnet will be carried out as follows:

1. The authorised consignor will register the TIR Export Summary Declaration, which it will register under the TIR Carnet with which it will carry the export load, by declaring on it, only in the first transport document, the special-type seal number belonging to the authorised consignor with the code İGXXXXXXXX;

2. For a vehicle loaded at the authorised consignor's facility and carrying export goods under a TIR Carnet, the TIR Carnet and the attached documents will not be physically submitted to the customs office of departure;

3. Without the TIR Carnet and the attached documents being physically submitted to the customs office of departure, the TIR Export Summary Declaration number and the special-type seal number belonging to the authorised consignor with the code İGXXXXXXXX will be declared to the customs office of departure by the representative of the relevant company;

4. At the customs office of departure, the VOLET-1 registration will be made through the system by the relevant officer using the information submitted;

5. The customs office of exit will carry out the necessary procedures, within the framework of Article 39 of the Customs General Communiqué (TIR Procedures) (Serial No:1), on the TIR Carnet presented to it on which no official seal has been affixed;

6. The official seal not affixed by the customs office of departure will be affixed by the customs office of exit in the relevant field of the carnet, and the VOLET-1 and VOLET-2 sheets will be detached and the TIR Carnet handed to the driver.

On the other hand, the verification that the transport in question falls within the scope of the authorised consignor practice, by establishing that the seal number in the TIR Carnet and in the system is the special-type seal number belonging to the authorised consignor with the code İGXXXXXXXX, may again be carried out by the customs administration.

The "Authorised Consignor Procedures Guide for Obligors and Officers" published by the General Directorate of Customs regarding the regulation, and a sample showing how authorised consignors are to fill in TIR Carnets, are attached.
