Agenda • Introduction to ASEAN Single Window (ASW) Pilot Project • UNeDocs for ASW Pilot Project • Video Clips for the Proof-Of-Concept
Goal of ASW Pilot Project to implement the ASW project for Philippines and Thailand on the basis of standardization and simplification of documents, information and data, and processes
Process Flow For Exchange of CEPT Form D Export Thailand – Import Philippines Philippines Thailand PH NSW TH NSW Receive Approved CEPT Form D details Send Approved CEPT Form D details Bureau Of Customs ebMS Gateway ebMS Gateway Dept Of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce Parties involved: Sending : Depart of Foreign Trade, Min of Commerce, Thailand Receiving : Bureau of Customs, Phlippines
Chronology of events • Discussion between ASW Pilot project team (PH Customs, TH Customs) and TBG2 members in Geneva on 4th May, 2006 (in conjunction with Single Window Symposium) • Requirement : UNeDocs Proof-Of-Concept (POC) for the ASEAN Single Window Pilot Project • TBG2 team members started development work for the POC after the meeting • POC approved by ASW Pilot Project team on 29th May, 2006 (in conjunction with 2nd ASW Workshop in Bangkok) • Presented by ASW Pilot project during ASEAN Customs DG Meeting in Cambodia on 5th June, 2006
Work done for the ASEAN CEPT Form D Proof-Of-Concept • Alignment of ASEAN CEPT Form D to UN Layout Key • Definition of national data requirement and mapping to global semantic standard • Mapping of ASEAN CEPT Form D to the UNeDocs Data Model • Generation of UNeDocs XML Structure for the ASEAN CEPT Form D • Development of an UNeDocs Interactive PDF Document (optional step)
Alignment to UNLK • ASEAN CEPT Form D is aligned to UNLK • Implemented important international standards • Code lists – UN/LOCODE • ISO Codes • UN/TDED
Definition of national data requirement & mapping to global semantic standard • Definition of national data requirement for import / export process • Submission to a focal point in ASEAN Secretariat for consolidation • Mapped against the UN/TDED and WCO Data Set
Mapping to UNeDocs Data Model • Mapped each box in CEPT Form D to a structure in UNeDocs CoO data model • All boxes in CEPT Form D were mapped to UNeDocs CoO data model • Result : simplified UNeDocs data model of the CEPT Form D that is fully mapped to the paper form
Generation of UNeDocs XML Structure for ASEAN CEPT Form D • Expert team used EDIFIX to transform Simplified UNeDocs data model for CEPT Form D into XML structure based on UN/CEFACT Naming and Design Rules (DNR) • Result : UNeDocs XML Schema for CEPT Form D • Through interfaces, the UNeDocs CEPT Form D document is integrated directly into PH & TH Customs processing for G2G business data exchange
Development of UNeDocs Interactive PDF Document (Optional steps) • Implemented UNeDocs CEPT Form D using UN Toolkit in combination with Adobe Interactive PDF • Use UN Toolkit to create CEPT Form D as Interactive PDF form • Map Interactive PDF to UNeDocs CEPT Form D XML Schema • Apply digital signatures to UNeDocs CEPT Form D
