To facilitate the transport and transit of goods between the territories of CEDEOA Member States<\/strong>, the Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (CEDEOA) signed in May 1982 two (2) Regional Conventions<\/strong>, namely the Inter-State Road Transit (TRIE)<\/strong> Convention No. A\/P4\/5\/82 [Convention] and the Inter-State Road Transport (ISRT) Convention No. A\/P2\/5\/82 [Convention].<\/p>

The TRIE Convention<\/strong> established a system of Interstate Road Transit<\/strong> between Member States which allows the transport of goods by road under suspension of duties, taxes and prohibitions from a Customs office in one Member State to a Customs office in another Member State.<\/p>

In order to ensure the smooth running of the TRIE<\/strong>, an operation guarantee mechanism<\/strong> was instituted by the Additional Protocol No. A\/SP.1\/5\/90 of 30 May 1990<\/strong> [Protocol], which consists of a Chain of National Bonds, intended to guarantee the duties, taxes and possible penalties incurred on the territory of the Member States, crossed on the occasion of the TRIE of goods.<\/p>

To this end, a contribution to the Guarantee Fund<\/strong> based on a rate of 0.25% of the CAF value of the goods<\/strong> is levied by each National Guarantor [1]<\/strong> of the countries through which the goods pass.<\/p>

The TRIE A\/P2\/5\/82 Convention of 29 May 1982 [Convention]<\/strong> defines the conditions under which road transport<\/strong> between CEDEAO Member States must be carried out.<\/p>

It applies to road transport of passengers<\/strong> and goods<\/strong>, and defines in particular (i) the road axes recognised as Inter-State axes<\/strong>, (ii) the axle load<\/strong>, (iii) the technical characteristics<\/strong> of vehicles for the transport of persons and goods, (iii) the transport permits<\/strong>.<\/p>

The TRIE<\/strong> is supported by Protocol A\/P1\/5\/82 [Protocol]<\/strong> establishing the CEDEAO Brown Card<\/strong> on Third Party Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance<\/strong> and the Additional Act A\/SA.17\/02\/12 on the Harmonization of Standards and Procedures for the Control<\/strong> of Vehicle Dimensions, Weights and Axle Loads of Heavy Goods Vehicles in ECOWAS Member States.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
