Qatar Chamber, in co-operation with the General Authority of Customs (GAC), called on shipping companies operating in the country to register in the International Road Transport (TIR) system to ensure the continuity of commercial operations amid the current circumstances. <\/span><\/p>\n

In light of the current challenges facing the country and the potential difficulties that the business sector may face in transporting goods, the chamber announced the provision of alternative solutions, along with distinguished customs facilities, for transporting goods and merchandise through the TIR system across the land border with Saudi Arabia utilising the fast track. <\/span><\/p>\n

This is in addition to the speedy completion of customs procedures and transactions through the Al\u2011Nadeeb Electronic Customs Clearance System. Qatar Chamber chairman Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim al-Thani said the chamber has called on shipping and transport companies operating in the country to register in the e-TIR system to ensure the continuity of commercial operations amid the current circumstances in the country and the region. <\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that the chamber issues TIR carnets, guarantees transport operations under the system, and provides transport operators with access to the e-TIR system in cooperation with the GAC through the Al-Nadeeb system. <\/span><\/p>\n

TIR is an international customs transit system that allows goods to move from a country of origin to a country of destination in sealed load compartments under customs control throughout the supply chain, using a single international guarantee that eliminates the need for costly guarantees in each country of transit. It is noteworthy that Qatar joined the TIR Agreement in January 2019, with Qatar Chamber appointed as the national guarantor responsible for issuing TIR carnets. <\/span><\/p>\n

The e-TIR system was implemented through the Al-Nadeeb system in integration with the TIR platform as of May 2025, allowing the required procedures to be completed electronically without the use of paper documents in export, import, and transit operations. The TIR system currently includes 76 countries worldwide and continues to expand as more countries seek to join. Qatar Chamber is the national guarantor responsible for the TIR system and an active member of the International Road Transport Union (IRU).<\/span><\/p>\n
