“A Single Window is a facility that allows parties involved in
trade and transport to lodge standardized information and
documents with a single entry point to fulfill all import, export,
and transit-related regulatory requirements. If information is
electronic, then individual data elements should only be
submitted once” UNCEFACT , Rec 33
