In 2022, within the framework of cooperation between the State Customs Service of Turkmenistan, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the International Road Transport Union (IRU) and the Turkmen Association of International Road Carriers (THADA), TIR-EPD system was launched and integrated with the Transit Module of the customs information system «ASYCUDA World» in Turkmenistan. Furthermore, at border crossings «Green channel» has been introduced for vehicles performing international transport of goods under cover of TIR Carnets.
As a consequence of the introduction of «Green channels» at customs offices, the passage through the customs border and customs clearance of vehicles performing international transport of goods under cover of TIR Carnets are carried out on a priority basis.
Integration of TIR-EPD with the customs information system «ASYCUDA World» and the introduction of «Green channels», by facilitating the movement across the customs border of vehicles performing international transport of goods, increase the attractiveness of the country's international transport corridors and its importance in the regional and international logistics chain in cargo transportation, and this, as a result, contributes to the development of international trade.
