US Chamber of Commerce recommends the TIR Convention
|
|
|
In a report recently released by the US Chamber of commerce on " Balancing Security and Trade Facilitation in the 21st Century Global Supply Chain...", the TIR Convention is considered the most effective and preferred alternative mechanism to implement the WCO SAFE Framework of Standards. “It is important to note that one third of the U.S. economy is dependent on international trade. Balancing trade with security is one of society’s most complex and important challenges,” said Donohue, President of the US Chamber of Commerce. “The WCO SAFE Framework, implemented by an enhanced TIR Convention, could strike the right balance, ensuring greater economic opportunity all over the world.”
