Under the decision, the new sign will be set up in the immediate vicinity of border crossing points and will inform traffic participants about the privileged border crossing regime for those who benefit from simplified procedures. Thus, when the carriers enter the customs control area, they will know what lane they must follow and will not need to stay in a queue, IPN reports.

The privileged border crossing regime is designed for carriers that form part of the TIR
Electronic Pre-Declaration (TIR-EPD) system and for authorized economic operators.
