Speaking at this year’s National Exporters’ Forum on Friday, President Uhuru Kenyatta commended The Export Promotion Council (EPC) for entering into partnership with the International Road Transport Union and the Commonwealth Secretariat in an effort to introduce the use of International Road Transport Carnet. “This is a technological innovation that will expedite transportation of Kenyan exports to the regional markets and enhance smooth cargo transit both regionally and internationally,” he said.
According to the International Road Transport Union, ‘TIR’ stands for Transports Internationaux Routiers (International Road Transport) and is an international Customs transit system. It is the only universal transit system that allows the goods to transit from a country of origin to a country of destination in sealed load compartments with Customs control recognition along the supply chain.
This is set to work with the Electronic Single Window System-defined by UN/CEFACT Recommendation 33 (2004) as: a facility that allows parties in trade & transport to lodge standardized information and documents with a single entry point to fulfill all imports, export and transit-related regulatory requirements; If information is electronic, then individual data elements should only be submitted once. “Combined with the National Electronic Single window that is also in the offing, the systems will expedite national and regional transport of cargo by road and reduce the turnaround time in the region,” said the President.
