Improving Customs Transit Systems

In the Islamic Countries

41

In addition to the exchange of information, the Naples II Customs Convention contains special

forms of cooperation, such as hot pursuit, cross-border surveillance, controlled delivery, covert

investigations, and joint special investigation teams. The widest possible range of cooperative

operations logically leads to improved law enforcement, and this, in turn, will also improve trade

facilitation for all customs procedures.

New WCO Dataset for Transit

The definition of the transit dataset elements is leading to the development of an electronic

transit system, that, a part of CTR data, will support results from Customs control (if any),

scanner (x or gamma-ray) picture, notification on crossing frontier to be sent to all relevant

Customs offices and thus meets the requirements of both CAs and traders.

WCO Data Model version 3.6.0 is defining new dataset elements for Customs Transit:

WCO ID 235, Control results at departure - a code and description indicating the

results of the controls carried out by the authorized consignor prior to departure;

WCO ID 302, Security level - a code identifying a specific security level;

WCO ID 405, Examination Image -the digital image is resulting from the

examination, (example the x-ray scan of a container).

TIR Electronic Data Exchange and Data Availability

The TIR Electronic Data Exchange consists of three layers of TIR digitalization. The systems

connect all TIR actors electronically and at the same time, enhance the TIR security for CAs,

traders, transport companies, and TIR national associations.

TIR-EPD

is a system that enables TIR carnet holders to submit Customs transit

declarations

36

to Customs authorities in different countries. With TIR-EPD, CAs are able

to confirm that the declaration was submitted by an authorized TIR carnet holder and

that the TIR carnet is valid. This exchange of pre-arrival information enables CAs to

perform risk analysis on the pre-arrival basis and allocate resources in an accurate and

timely manner;

SafeTIR

system provides a database of terminated TIR Carnets. The system is an

effective risk management tool that allows early detection of possible

infringements/fraud by CAs

37

with information on the validity and closure of TIR

Carnets. As well, the system provides information in real-time to TIR country

associations - guarantee chain on termination of the TIR movement. SafeTIR system can
