Shipping companies were also asked to register with the TIR International Road Transport System in order to maintain the flow of cargo under the current regional situation.

The TIR system is an international customs transportation framework that allows goods to move quickly from origin to destination in sealed containers under customs supervision throughout the supply chain.
According to Qatar News Agency, Qatar joined the TIR Treaty in January 2019, and the Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry was designated as the national guarantor and issuer of TIR carnets in the country.
The system has been integrated with the Al Nadeeb platform since May 2025, allowing exporters, importers and transport operators to complete procedures electronically without using paper documents.
The TIR network currently covers approximately 76 countries around the world, with more countries continuing to join the system.
