HMRC have not carried out any assessments of effectiveness of TIR procedures for vehicles crossing the UK.

The UK is a member of both the Common Transit Convention (CTC) and Transports Internationaux Routiers (TIR) conventions. Depending on preferences and suitability, a trader can choose to use the TIR or CTC process to move goods across borders using transit.
