New Iraqi customs agreement opens door to huge trade growth
10/22/2024
Having acceded to the TIR Convention, Iraq is now poised to enhance its position in regional trade following the signature of a significant customs agreement.
The Republic of Iraq has achieved a key milestone with the signing of the Guarantee Agreement between the General Authority of Customs and the TIR national association. This agreement will pave the way for the implementation of the United Nations TIR transit system in Iraq.
The TIR system cuts border waiting times significantly by enabling goods to be shipped from a country of origin to a country of destination in sealed load compartments that are controlled by customs via a multilateral, mutually recognised system.
In essence, TIR allows trucks to cross borders efficiently – and securely – without having to queue for hours and days on end.
TIR also provides a financial guarantee, managed by IRU, for the payment of customs duties and taxes.
Iraq’s accession to the TIR Convention anchors its strategic role as a transit hub and supports the country’s economic vision to expand its non-oil sectors.
Globally recognised for its 75 years of high security standards and efficiency, the TIR system has been rapidly expanding in the Middle East. From Oman and the United Arab Emirates to Saudi Arabia, and most recently in Qatar, TIR is already reducing border-crossing times by up to 92% and costs by 50% while boosting trade in the region.
