One link in a global supply chain

• TIR is one link in a global supply chain
   • The information needs to be interoperable with Transport
     information, Commercial information, Other Regulatory
     information…
   • The international supply chain is very complex (multiple
     actors and multiple relations in data exchanges)

• A holistic view and approach are needed
   • Information will not be purely goods-related or purely
     transport or purely regulatory…
   • There are clear links between the information in each part
     of the global supply chain
                                                                3

Shipment (Trade Delivery view)
A shipment is an identifiable collection of one or more Trade Items (available to be)
transported together from the Seller (Original Consignor/Shipper) to the Buyer
(Final/Ultimate Consignee):
     •   A   Shipment can only be destined for one Buyer
     •   A   Shipment can be made up of some or all Trade Items from one or more Sales Orders
     •   A   Shipment can have only one Customs UCR
     •   A   shipment may form part or all of a Consignment or may be transported in different Consignments.

Consignment (Transport/Logistics view)
A consignment is a separately identifiable collection of Consignment Items (available to be)
transported from one Consignor to one Consignee via one or more modes of transport as
specified in one single transport service contractual document:
     •   A Consignment can only have one Transport Service Buyer
     •   A Consignment can only have one Transport Service Provider
     •   A Consignment can only have one Consignor
     •   A Consignment can only have one Consignee
     •   The Transport Service Buyer can be either the Consignor or the Consignee
     •   A Consignment is made up of one or more Consignment Items
     •   A Consignment can be made up of some or all Trade Items (aggregated into Consignment Items) from one or
         more Shipments
