Work on TIR implementation in China gathers speed with a training session in Shanghai preparing Customs for the first TIR operations.
Customs officers from designated TIR border crossings with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia and Russia, received the TIR training at the Shanghai Customs College last week.
Organised by China Customs, the training was conducted by IRU together with the China Road Transport Association (CRTA) and the road vehicle approval agency (RIOH).
It provided guidance to over 30 participants on specific services and tools as well as practical scenarios for the implementation of the system.
