Re: Use of the TIR Carnet in Transit Transport via Syria

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the notification made to our Union by the International Road Transport Union (IRU) regarding the use of the TIR Carnet within the scope of transit transport carried out via Syria states that Syria became a party to the TIR Convention in 1999, that the TIR System is currently applied in Syria, and that TIR Carnets are accepted by the Syrian customs administrations within the framework of the provisions of the Convention. In this context, it is stated that transport carried out in transit via Syria to subsequent countries, including the Gulf countries, can be performed under the TIR System.
On the other hand, transit transport via Syria is currently being carried out and the said transport operations are being completed without any problems.

Kind regards,
Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
