WCO Implementing TFA:Article 10.4: Single Window

Driver:• Globalization;• Liberalization of trade;• Increase of cross border trade volume.

Challenges of CBRA:• Complexity of global supply chain increases• Regulatory challenges• Security challenges• Information management• Public expectations

Making the best use out of existing resources so that current imperatives canbe met

Making use of new techniques and technologies to work better together


COORDINATED BORDERMANAGEMENT

The optimal flow of goods and information betweenCustoms, Cross Border Regulatory Agencies and Tradeto enable effective and efficient border management

KeyPrinciples

WCO Tools &Instruments

• Totally uncoordinated border situations are rare – it iscommon for multiple agencies to be involved in borderoperations

• Key issue is not the number of agencies at the border,but how well they work together

• Degree of formality is VERY important – need to movebeyond informal / personal network arrangements to besustainable

“Within the context of thisRecommendation, a Single Window isdefined as a facility that allows partiesinvolved in trade and transport to lodgestandardized information anddocuments with a single entry point tofulfill all import, export, and transit-related regulatory requirements. Ifinformation is electronic, then individualdata elements should only be submittedonce.”

UN-CEFACT Recommendation 33

• Parties involved in trade andtransport

• Parties involved in trade andtransportWHO?

• Standardized information anddocuments

• Standardized information anddocumentsWHAT?

• Single entry point• Single entry pointWHERE?

• Fulfill all import, export, andtransit-related regulatoryrequirements.

• Fulfill all import, export, andtransit-related regulatoryrequirements.

WHEN /WHY

• Electronic data elements shouldsubmitted only once

• Electronic data elements shouldsubmitted only onceHOW?


Understanding the SWEnvironment

• One-time submission• Incremental submission of data• Harmonized regulatory declarations• Sharing of information amongst CBRAs• Harmonized CBRA response

• SW needs to be seen as an “environment” because it is nota monolithic structure, but an ecosystem of inter-dependent facilities and processes

• Implemented in an integrated manner, a Single Windowenvironment becomes a critical trade infrastructure




• “Services” and“Interactions” is acore to understandinga Single WindowEnvironment


Alignment of Services &Interactions

What would a Customs &CBRA “Touch-point Wheel”look like

• Before SW?– For Customs?

– For Partner GovernmentAgencies?

– For Trader

• After SW?– 1 standardized experience

• Process re engineering: Stream-lininginteragency processes


Process Harmonization

• Eliminates duplications in informationrequirement and harmonizes data elementsneeded across participating agency

• Lower Cost of compliance by traders

• Reduce time needed for goods clearance

• Higher level of data quality

• Better risk management, Increased security,safety and revenue


Data Harmonization

a carefully combined, harmonized andstandardized data library to meetprocedural and legal requirement ofcross-border regulatory agencies suchas Customs, controlling export, importand transit transaction

Globally Networked Customs:Utility Block

Layer DefinitionPurpose What the block is supposed to do.

Legal Framework The law, including the instrument providing the legal gateway.

Entities Those who can send/receive information, and the methods of

identifying them.

Business Rules The specific rules for the UB. If not described elsewhere, includes

relevant Protocols, Standards and Guidelines.

Data Cluster The list of data elements for the UB

Triggers Events that either start the data flow, or respond to data receipt

Interface How the parties in a GNC relationship are connected

Integration How a GNC partner connects to its own systems

Communication The electronic means of exchanging information

Advantages Benefits delivered to: Customs, Business and Other Agencies
