Indeed, since 2000, Kyrgyz AIA has had the role of TIR issuing and guaranteeing association in the Kyrgyz Republic and, since then, more than 40,000 TIR Carnets have regularly been accepted and properly terminated by the customs authorities concerned. However, despite these achievements, the association has been subjected by the Kyrgyz customs to numerous audits which have paralysed its activities.
