The more intense internal disagreements at the International Association of Road Haulers of Moldova (AITA) can affect the export of goods covered by the TIR system. In a meeting with members of the association, Minister of Transport Vasile Botnari said an amicable solution should be identified in order to avoid possible export blockages, IPN reports, quoting a communiqué from the Transport Ministry.
Vasile Botnari said the haulers should not be affected by an internal conflict at the association. He will submit an official notification to the International Road Transport Union (IRU) to inform it about the steps taken by the authorities to ensure the functionality of the system for issuing TIR Carnets.
The TIR Carnet is a customs transit document used to prove the existence of the international guarantee for duties and taxes for the goods transported under the TIR system, within the limit of US$50,000. It is issued in the departure country or the country where the holder has the domicile or residence.
