In the "Three Year Action Plan for Data Elements x (2024-2026)" jointly released by 17 departments including the National Data Administration and the Cyberspace Administration of China in 2023, it is mentioned that in 12 fields including commercial circulation and transportation, the multiplier effect of data elements should be promoted to unleash their value. Against this backdrop, it is urgent to accelerate the digital transformation of logistics enterprises, accelerate the application of digital technology, and achieve the electronic transformation of TIR systems. The use of TIR electronic system will help achieve automation of customs clearance operations, reducing management costs and time consumption caused by manual operations.
With the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, TIR electronic systems can use it to achieve real-time monitoring and tracking of transportation vehicles and goods, facilitating timely adjustment of transportation strategies and optimization of logistics resource allocation. The widespread application of TIR electronic systems will generate a large amount of transportation data that can be analyzed. These data will assist regulators in automatically assessing and warning potential risks during transportation through big data analysis, enabling logistics companies and relevant regulatory agencies to take measures in advance; On the other hand, the TIR electronic system can accelerate information sharing and collaboration among customs of various countries by digitizing information, promoting standardization and interconnectivity of international logistics.
In addition to the development trends of intelligence and digitization, sustainability will also become an important development trend for TIR. The application of TIR electronic system will reduce the use of paper TIR clearance certificates and promote the paperless development of the logistics industry. This will help reduce paper consumption, contribute to resource conservation and environmental protection.
