Change driven by the: Multi Annual Strategic Plan - MASP
Aim:
use of the NCTS to facilitate the termination /discharge of TIR operations
within the Community.
Augmenting the return of Voucher No 2 with the sending of NCTS messages
Secondary objective of exercise is to inform the development of the e-TIR project
objective is to test the use of NCTS to facilitate the
termination /discharge of TIR operations within the Community. Augmenting the
return of Voucher No 2 with the sending of NCTS messages could accelerate the
operations. A secondary objective of the exercise is to inform the development of the
so-called e-TIR project currently under development by the UNECE.
The main element of the TIR system is the TIR carnet. It serves as a transit
document as well as a proof of guarantee. In 2000, the decision was taken to
computerise the TIR System, subsequently the E-TIR project started. It has been
suggested using the NCTS infrastructure for exchanging TIR data messages for two
reasons: testing the concept and feasibility of computerising the system and
improving the situation regarding delays in returning a part of the TIR document.
There is a close correlation between the data required for TIR and the one required
for NCTS.

The NCTS will be used as a control measure to send appropriate messages
from the Office of Departure/Entry to the Office of Destination/Exit.
These messages will replace the much slower process of physically
returning Voucher 2 and with therefore minimise unnecessary Enquiry
Procedures being initiated.

16. NCTS-TIR Pre-Declaration Requirements
Question. As a TIR Trader do I need to do anything different with the Carnet?
Answer
No from a Traders point of view, there are no
obvious changes to the paper based procedure.
However, you may wish to use a local reference to identify your Declaration at the office of Departure/Entry.
