Do you want to dedicate yourself to the International transport, but you don’t know where to start, or you don’t know which are the necessary documents to make this work? Don’t worry, WebTrans will help you to know what documents you would need to be able to dedicate yourself to it.
Main documents
We need to know 3 important documents:
1- The Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road or “CMR” , also known as a delivery note, is a document that formalizes the international transport contract used by hauliers and logistics operators, defining the obligations and responsibilities of both parties. Although in none of them do you assume ownership of the goods. This document presents the following information:
- Date and place of the work completion.
- Identification and addresses
- Description of the goods
- Information on means of transport
- Itinerary with loading and unloading location.
- Customs instructions and information on hazardous goods
2- If the transport of goods by road is carried out at an intra-Community level, the necessary documentation depends on the commercial transaction. If it takes place in the European Union, you will have to present the T document to the customs office of exit. Which in turn can be divided into T1, T2 or T3.
3- However, if this is done outside the European Union, the document to be used is the TIR Carnet. With this vouchers, the process will be much faster, as there will be no requirement to inspect the goods at the borders crossed by the vehicle.
How to obtain a TIR Carnet?
To obtain this vouchers, the TIR convention certificate is required from the General Department of Customs and Taxes, which allows your vehicle to have an international permit for a period of 2 years.
