TEHRAN (Dispatches) - Director General of the Sarakhs Customs Administration Office Seyyed Hassan Rahimzadeh has said Iran and Azerbaijan are using the digitized TIR carnet system after successfully co-operating the system with Turkey, and now Pakistan is eager to establish the same joint system with Iran.
The event is sponsored by the World Customs Organization in its European regional office in Baku.
Rahimzadeh added that after Turkey, Azerbaijan is the second country with which Iran has initiated such a system.
He also recounted that Pakistani officials have also asked for such a system to facilitate transit between the two countries.
Iran's Customs Administration (ICA) and its Azerbaijani counterpart have recently come to an agreement on the e-TIR customs cooperation.
Mutual consent was given to the introduction of a digital version of TIR on routes between these countries. In addition, further plans are to extend the digital passes to the entire International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC), which connects India, Iran, Azerbaijan, Russia and Central Asia.
