Czech Customs Presents Karel Uhlir, Deputy Director – IT dep. Uhlir@cs.mfcr.cy http:www.cs.mfcr.cy Trade Facilitation and Customs: a Contradiction?
Customs: not extremely beloved by the traders • Stopping traffic, creating queues • Collecting money • Being generally unpleasant and bureaucratic
What are the duties of a decent Customs Administration • Service to the citizens • Protecting from drugs and other illicit traffic • Protecting the intellectual property rights • Protecting from low-grade goods • Creating fair competition environment • Service to the Government • Securing the financial resources • Implementing the trade policy • Service to World Trade • Measuring and publishing the trade statistics • Helping to create fair and unified trade environment • Facilitating trade CONTROL AND FACILITATION SHOULD BE IN BALANCE
DE PL SK DE AT The main task of Customs Virtual Warehouse Control
eCommerce, eGovernment, eCustoms, … How eWhatever can help • Data prior to the goods (time for Risk Analysis) • System-to-System (B2B) connection between the Customs and the Traders (fast and error free) • Automated clearance systems (available to authorized traders) • Shift from 100% checking to post-clearance audit • Possibility of international co-operation (e.g. European Transit System); needs harmonization of data structures • Possibility to clear the postal and express shipments before they are dispatched from the place of departure • Predictable environment for JIT shipments
CZ: What is possible now • Customs Declaration System (CDS) • Covers all customs regimes: • Goods registration (import, export, transit, warehousing, processing,..) • Declarations processing • Duty payment control • ECC (Electronic Customs Clearance) • Flat file text messages • VAN Operators • smtp (for those who does not want and pay for more reliable service) • NCTS • Electronic system – registers cargo on transit • Currently 22 countries (more pending) • Phase 3.1 in tests
CZ: What has been planned greater precision more speed • CDS • Selectivity principle in goods inspection • Risk-analysis • Self-assessment and audit • ECC • Fully paperless • Structured standardized messages • EU interconnectivity • In addition to NCTS – connectivity to 12 common domain systems greater security automated clearance fully paperless Europe-ready so where is the contradiction?
Good news, folks! This is the last slide
