SINGLE WINDOW CONCEPTSINGLE WINDOW CONCEPT
Definition:
“A Single Window is a facility enabling the provision of standardized information with a single body to fulfill all import, export and transit related regulatory requirements. If information is electronic then individual data elements should only be submitted once.” (UNECE & WCO)
The ASYCUDA Single Window for International Trade is based on more than 25 years of experience in Customs modernization and computerization.
SINGLE WINDOW CONCEPTSINGLE WINDOW CONCEPT
Objectives:
To establish or increase co-operation between Customs, Other Government Agencies and border control authorities in order to electronically share documents (data) and establish common procedures for processing and control.
To provide trade and transport operators with a single submission for trade documents and information to satisfy all import, export and transit regulatory requirements.

ASYCUDA SINGLE WINDOW - CONCLUSIONSASYCUDA SINGLE WINDOW - CONCLUSIONS
«The most recent Web-based version of ASYCUDA will allow Customs administrators and traders to handle most of their transactions via the Internet. The new e-Customs platform, dubbed AsycudaWorld, will be particularly useful to developing countries, where poor fixed-line telecommunications are a major problem for e-government applications. It is also powerful enough to accommodate the operational and managerial needs of Customs operations in any developed country as well.»
