EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the International Transport of Goods under Cover of TIR Carnets (Fees) Regulations 1988 (“the 1988 Regulations”). The 1988 Regulations prescribe the fees payable in connection with the approval of a road vehicle design-type, and with the issue of a certificate of approval for a road vehicle, in pursuance of Annex 3 to the Customs Convention on the International Transport of Goods under Cover of TIR Carnets of 14 November 1975. “TIR” is the acronym for “Transport Internationaux Routiers”.

Regulation 2 makes amendments to the prescribed fees which are set out in the Table below. The percentage increases since the fees were last fixed are shown in brackets.
