eTIR – A centralized approach

• Instructed by WP.30
• Facilitates the integration of newcomers
• Similar to the current TIR system, eTIR does not require direct communication between countries

Joint UNECE-IRU Pilot project (Iran-Turkey)
• Goal: to conduct a paperless TIR procedure using existing systems
• First step towards a fully functional eTIR
• Involves all actors: customs, UNECE, IRU, national associations, TIR Holders
• Involves electronic guarantee management
Additional eTIR pilot projects (Georgia-Turkey / Italy-Turkey)
• Goal: to exchange electronically and securely TIR related data between customs administrations
• Also first steps towards a fully functional eTIR
• Focuses on Customs to Customs data exchange
eTIR – Pilot Projects

Existing IRU central database acts as repository for the electronic exchange of TIR data between customs (C2C) and TIR guarantees data.
Data is exchanged using existing mechanisms (TIR-EPD and Real-Time SafeTIR)
Data is automatically forwarded to a UNECE managed database, a light-weight version of the eTIR international system.

TIR Holder:
Order a eGuarantee online
Association:
Approve and issue the eGuarantee
TIR Holder:
Pre-declare the transport and GO!
Customs:
Receive electronic advance cargo information for better risk management
Operate paperless, more efficiently with increased security and reduced fraud

Harmonized declaration data?
• Promote WCO data model & standardisations
Paper or not paper?
• Print@home as fallback
Declarant needs digital signature in each country?
• 2 step authentication of TIR Holder vis-à-vis IRU and
• Digital Signature @IRU vis-à-vis Customs as solution

Architectural decisions
Best of breed component & technologies
• Open source or proprietary (if better)
• Freedom of choice: no vendor lock-in overall
• Interoperability & open standards are a must
Web-based wherever possible
• AngularJS (=> web components.js)
Cloud-based (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) if suitable
Service Oriented Architecture
• Allows to integrate new applications with existing ones without major rewrite
• RESTful service when possible
![Page 26: IT Support for TFA Implementation eTIR – efficient IT-enabled Trade Facilitation Freeport, 7 May 2015 Philippe Grosjean – Chief Information Officer.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e2c5503460f94b1b6e0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
