The two businesses of 'TIR+' were first launched in Zhejiang

On the 15th, a batch of bonded goods and cross-border e-commerce goods were supervised by Hangzhou Customs and departed from Wenzhou and Hangzhou respectively by TIR (International Road Transport) vehicles. This is the first batch of "TIR+Bonded" and "TIR+Cross border E-commerce" goods exported nationwide after the General Administration of Customs included cross-border e-commerce goods and bonded goods in the TIR transportation mode, marking the landing of the two new businesses of "TIR+" in Zhejiang.
The TIR Convention is an international cross-border road transport logistics model based on the provisions of the United Nations Convention on International Road Transport, which has advantages such as convenient customs clearance procedures, fast transportation turnover, and flexible mobility. Recently, the General Administration of Customs issued a notice to optimize the implementation of the TIR Convention, develop and launch relevant system functions, and include cross-border e-commerce goods and bonded goods in the TIR transportation mode. On the 15th, pilot projects were launched in some customs across the country, including Hangzhou Customs.
Yu Jinsong, Deputy Director of Hangzhou Customs Supervision Department, introduced that TIR transportation relies on the customs clearance system and standardized guarantee mechanism recognized by the contracting parties to achieve "one declaration, one vehicle direct delivery, and one box to the end". Goods entering the comprehensive bonded zone can enjoy "entry tax refund", which improves the capital turnover rate of enterprises. TIR+bonded "and" TIR+cross-border e-commerce "combine their respective advantages and are cost-effective choices for bonded and cross-border e-commerce goods export enterprises.
To ensure the smooth implementation of the "TIR+" two new businesses, Hangzhou Customs organized business experts to conduct business research and guidance in advance, led the organization of desktop simulations and business tests, and opened a dedicated window for fast customs clearance during the business process to help enterprises quickly handle certificate endorsement, sealing and other businesses; Proactively liaise with port customs, follow up on vehicle schedules, and ensure smooth departure of TIR vehicles.
Since the implementation of TIR business in Zhejiang in December 2024, diversified export models such as "TIR+market procurement" and "TIR+cross-border e-commerce cross customs return" have developed rapidly. By 2025, the number of TIR vehicles originating in Zhejiang will reach 621, ranking among the top in the country and entering the stage of normalized operation.
