How to obtain a Kuwait TIR certification?

Kuwait Conformity Scheme (KUCAS) includes two types of certificates:

1) Technical Evaluation Report (TER)Valuation Report, used to certify that the products meet the scheme requirements and are eligible for export to Kuwait. In layman's terms: The TIR stands for "Product Registration," and after registration, a TIR customs quality certificate must be applied for before each shipment.

2) The Technical Inspection Certificate (TIR) is a mandatory document, full name in English: Technical Inspection Report. For every batch of goods exported to Kuwait, submission of either the TIR or the "Customs Clearance Permit," either document can serve as a prerequisite for final customs clearance.

If you are dealing with products from a heavily regulated catalog with frequent shipments, it is recommended to apply for a TER first. A TER certificate is essentially a product registration certificate.

Application for TER requires the following documents:

1) Product Test Report: This report must be issued by a qualified third-party testing agency. No further testing is required if an effective test report is already available.

2) Product Images and Technical Specifications

3) Complete the TER application form: Blank application forms are provided by the processing agency.

Submit the above documents to KUCAS for processing.

If shipments are not frequent, you can apply for a TIR certificate directly before each shipment.

To apply for a TIR, the following documents must be prepared:

1. Packing List

2.Proforma Invoice

3. Product Test Reports: Required from a qualified third-party testing facility. No further testing is needed if an effective test report is already available.

4. CoC Application Form: Blank application forms are provided by the processing agency.
