4.1.4 ICT and efficient transit information management
KCS is managing the customs declarations related to import through Unified Automated
Information System (UAIS) CDPS.

level in the common Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) IT Transit System. The pre-arrival transit
declaration is shared with the office of destination and other relevant customs offices
immediately after the office of departure release declared goods for the transit or export.
The Unified Automated Information System of customs transit control supports the
management of customs declarations for export and transit of EAEU Member States.
Only KCS has access to the UAIS customs transit control of the EAEU to the customs declaration

exchange of information among the EAEU MS.

potential areas of border reform but also looking for possible reforms in other trade-related

obligatory for traders to submit the pre-arrival transit customs declaration. KCS provides aWCO
