IX.7.1. Introduction

As a general principle, goods transported under the TIR procedure must be presented at the customs office of destination accompanied by the vehicle, the TIR Carnet, and the TIR operation NRM.

However, the authorized consignee may receive the goods at its premises or at another authorized location without having to present them, along with the vehicle, the TIR Carnet, or the TIR operation NRM, to the customs office of destination.

Article 282 of the AE

The procedures relating to the TIR authorised consignee are based on those already in force for common/Union transit. Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to the procedures established in Part VI.

Unlike the ordinary TIR regime, the authorized consignee authorization only applies to TIR operations where the final unloading site is the premises specified in that authorization.
