Single Window Systems
In the OIC Member States
47
When implemented in 2020 economic operators will no longer have to submit trade
certificates together with the customs declaration. The EU Single Window will use the Customs
Declaration dataset to create a request for permit/certificate and the approvals are made
directly electronically. The response time for the certificate validation is set to be two seconds.
The EU Single Window will therefore remove all paper and implement a single data entry and
submission - se
