Re: Turkmenistan TIR EPD Green Lanes

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the e-mail dated 12.08.2024 received from the Turkmenistan Guaranteeing Association (Association of International Road Carriers of Turkmenistan - THADA) announces that the TIR EPD Green Lanes have become fully operational at the borders of Turkmenistan.
In this context, carriers using a TIR Carnet and having sent a pre-declaration via TIR EPD will be able to move to the priority crossing lane (TIR EPD Green Lane) if they state to customs officers and border guard officers that they are carrying out transport with TIR EPD, and the loss of time that would be experienced while waiting in the general queue will be prevented.
However, care must be taken to ensure that the pre-declarations prepared with the TIR EPD application contain consistent and accurate information.

Kind regards,
Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
