  1. Computerization of TIR procedure Bratislava, 7-8 March 2006Computerization of the TIR procedure through a public-private partnership

  2. Computerization of TIR procedure Presentation of IRU and its associations’ vision of computerization of the TIR procedure, as described in informal document No 3, 2006 submitted to the last WP.30 by IRU

  3. Project frame: a public-private partnership Why a public-private parnership? • Gather the strenghts of both sectors at national and international levels • Both partners play clearly agreed roles within clearly defined obligations • Efficient elimination of financial, legal and technical contraints through a sound partnership TIR has been a successful private-public trade facilitation tool for 58 years

  4. Prerequisites • Legal status, roles and responsibilities of all actors clearly defined • Customs data provided and managed by Customs • Guarantee data provided and managed by the Guarantor to meet its obligations • No actor loses data because of computerization • No disclaimer

  5. Prerequisites • Online data transmission: 100% of data are transmitted and made available in real time • Standard messages • No central database (ref. Questionnaire) • Maximum cost reduction: no duplication of what already exists • System, network and data security • Sustainability • Availability, Reliability, and Scalability

  6. TIR Procedure Customs authorities national systems Approval of Associations Approval of the international organization Issuance and distribution TIR transport Return and repository Organization and functioning of the guarantee system Approval of Transport Operator (ITDB) Approval of vehicles Control system for TIR carnets Risk analysis Administration of the TIR Convention TIR procedure domain (RM p.27) TIR carnet life cycle

  11. CUTE-Wise: • Contains real time information and enables all Customs authorities to: • check the validity of the TIR carnet (guarantee) before the start or in the course of a TIR Transport and for each TIR operation • access to the lists of invalidated TIR carnets • as requested by the Recommendation on the introduction of a control system for TIR carnets, and by the future Annex 10 to the TIR Convention

  12. CUTE-Wise in figures Yearly basis (2005, approx. figures) • Details on 31 million TIR carnets • Used by 53 Contracting Parties accesses (2005) • 1930 individual accounts, 1710 at Customs • 57900 log ins to TIR carnet status page • 690’000 TIR carnets queried (12 queries/session) • 2570 accesses to the download page of invalidated carnets

  16. Computerized TIR Fundamentals • Computerized TIR is a confederation of systems • Some wholly to support the role of each actor • Some provided as a service to support the roles of the actors and to facilitate the exchange of data among actors • International agreement is required on the exchange of data (definitions, formats, mechanisms, quality, timeliness) and the Service Levels for services provided

  17. Operational responsibility for these procedures rests with the IRU and its National Associations. However, the relevant data from these procedures will continue to be made available by the IRU. Out of Scope in Reference Model Page 27

  18. TIR Transport Dependencies 23 A TIR transport can only be performed by means of road vehicles, combinations of vehicles or containers previously approved under the conditions set forth in Chapter III of the Convention. 24 A TIR transport must be performed under cover of a TIR Carnet. 25 A TIR transport must be guaranteed by associations approved in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of the Convention. 26 Customs authorities can use national and international risk analysis data to assess risk in relation to the TIR transport. 27 When the TIR transport has ended, the TIR Carnet is returned to the holder, then to the association and finally to the international organization. 34 All through the TIR transport, national Customs authorities need the information in the TIR Carnet to feed their national systems. 35 All through the TIR transport, national Customs authorities need data from their national systems to feed the TIR Carnet. Wording Change! But they Need to Capture the data Final Termination acts as Return to IRU ? ? Pages 77 and 78

  19. The actors and what they do. Page 39

  20. TIR Declaration Data: --TIR Number --CMR --Other Vehicle and Load Validation Query Retrieve the declaration data already available Nationally Capture any additions, deletions or modifications electronically Capture electronically Provide accompanying document of the procedure to the operator Send electronic record of the procedure to the IRU Page 55

  21. Validation Query IDEA: Arrival Notification to Office of Entry Retrieve the declaration data already available Nationally. Capture any additions, deletions or modifications electronically Provide accompanying document of the procedure to the operator Page 62

  22. The only delay is the time it takes for the operator to reach the termination point and the time it takes for customs to process the termination. Send electronic record of the procedure to the IRU Electronic match Page 50

  23. Technology for Data Exchange • IT Standards based • Web Services • UNICODE • Security • Secure channel (VPN, SSL) • Encryption • Other—Authentication, Authorization, Firewalls… • Cost based • Internet

  24. Some Helpful Sites • World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org • Web Services Interoperability Organization http://www.ws-i.org • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) http://www.service-architecture.com

  26. CUTEwise Query • For HUMANS • For COMPUTERS VX45613426

  27. TIR Declaration • Modeled on the NCTS-TIR Pilot Project • Can be enhanced • Web Services • All Countries Involved in the Transit • The operator names all countries involved in the transit when submitting their declaration through the IRU. The IRU makes the declaration available to all countries named by the transporter, and only those countries.

  28. IRU Web Site TIR Pre-Declaration Data Flow Central Customs Point • XML • Internet • eMail or FTP

  29. Web Services • Web Services allow an application running on a remote server to appear as if it is an integral part of YOUR application, over the internet. • Two components

  30. CUTEwise Web ServiceTIR Carnet Holder Query • What is it? • This is a new SafeTIR service offered by the IRU designed to assist customs when presented with a TIR Carnet. Although CUTEwise data is available today for customs over the internet, the CUTEwise Web Service allows this data to be accessed directly by the Customs National System. • How does it fit with Computerized TIR? • It provides computer-to-computer validation of the TIR Guarantee. It could be accessed directly from the National Systems or, on their behalf, through a trusted third party, such as the NCTS Common Domain or the ITDB.

  31. TIR Customs Bus • The Computerized TIR Backbone • Managed by Customs • Interoperable—Protects existing investments • Allows Decentralized Implementation • Facilitates Expansion of Web Services (and Service Providers/Consumers)

  32. Holder and Guarantee Validation Customs requests holder and guarantee data from ITDB ITDB requests guarantee data from CUTEwise ITDB sends holder and guarantee data to Customs

  33. Electronic DeclarationSubmission by Holder TIR Declaration Distributed to Customs Holder Enters TIR Declaration

  34. Electronic DeclarationAcceptance by Customs Customs Accepts the TIR Declaration, and Distributes the Accepted Declaration to other Customs and the IRU. IRU Distributes the Accepted Declaration to the National Association and the Holder
