  1. A short description of how Direct Trader Input ( ‘DTI’) is implemented using the ASYCUDA++ Customs computer system. Direct Trader Input Next Mouse ‘Click’ to move on to the next slide

  2. This presentation looks at the operation of ‘Direct Trader Input’ (DTI). It outlines the many advantages the system offers to traders and Administrations. It also examines the requirements for ‘Direct Trader Input’ connection to an ASYCUDA++ computer network. The main topics are: - What is ‘DTI’? Office Equipment for DTI DTI Software Needs Communications DTI/Customs Procedures Next Select a topic (above) or ‘Next’ to move on to the next slide

  3. What is ‘DTI’? ASYCUDA++ Most countries have Customs laws that require a trader, (i.e. any person importing or exporting), to declare the details of import or export transactions. Details of a declaration are used for any tax calculations and for national controls and trade statistics. Next

  4. What is ‘DTI’? ASYCUDA++ The trader may provide the declaration to Customs, or the trader may employ an agent or broker, skilled in Customs procedures. (We call the person giving the declaration to Customs the ‘Declarant’.) Next

  5. What is ‘DTI’? ASYCUDA++ Conventional Customs processes require that Declarants prepare a Customs document (a ‘Declaration’ or ‘Entry’) that fully describes their transaction. This Declaration was originally prepared and processed as a paper document. With the introduction of electronic systems, the details were then keyed into a computer. Next

  6. ASYCUDA++ Customs Data Input staff copied declaration details from the paper document. (In many cases, the original paper declaration had been prepared on a computer by the Declarant.) • Problems included: - • Duplication of effort and high costs • Errors arising from the copying/keying process • Delays due to work backlogs with data entry Next

  7. ASYCUDA++ Direct access to the Customs computer gives major benefits to both Customs and the trader or broker. Direct access – or ‘Direct Trader Input’ - is needed for a fully electronic processing system. Next

  8. ASYCUDA++ Direct Trader Input gives a Declarant the capability to complete the full Customs process or formalities remotely – from that Declarant’s office. For Customs, it removes the need for a costly and essentially non-productive process. Next

  9. ASYCUDA++ The Declarant, with DTI access, may prepare, check and print declarations. Declarations may be forwarded electronically to Customs for registration and acceptance. Payment of any duties may be pre-arranged, through a credit or pre-payment facility. Processing is subject to full Customs controls! May be Released Next

  10. ASYCUDA++ Customs control processes for DTI declarations are similar to declarations lodged as paper documents. • Calculations are validated against current data. • Declaration details are checked against Customs control criteria (such as manifest, national prohibitions and restrictions, risk profiles). • Goods may be directed for examinations, as needed. Next

  11. ASYCUDA++ So…. what is required for DTI? • Computer equipment, programs or software. • Communications – the ability for the Declarant to electronically connect to the Customs computer system. • Agreement on procedures (Asycuda++ allows step-by-step introduction of processing options.) DTI requirements are further explained in the following sections. Back Next Select ‘Back’ to return to main topic index, or ‘Next’ to go on

  12. Office Equipment for DTI ASYCUDA++ The Declarant’s office, (trader or broker), needs a personal computer (PC) and a computer printer, as basic equipment. The ASYCUDA++ software is not technically demanding as regards hardware; the choice of computer is usually determined by what other uses within the office that the computer is to be put to. See http://www.asycuda.org/recommendedhardware.htm at the ASYCUDA website for specific recommendations. Next

  13. Office Equipment for DTI ASYCUDA++ In addition to the computer and printer, the DTI Declarant needs a modem to connect through the telephone line to the Customs computer. (Within an ASYCUDA++ computer network the Customs central computer is called the ‘server’ and a connected PC is called a ‘client’.) Back Next Select ‘Back’ to return to main topic index, or ‘Next’ to go on

  14. DTI Software Needs ASYCUDA++ The Declarant’s computer must have the operating system installed. (MS Windows or DOS.) Using the computer for DTI requires both ASYCUDA++ client software and communications software Next

  15. DTI Software Needs ASYCUDA++ ASYCUDA++ software for DTI is a program called ‘MODBRK’. (Customs Broker module.) Functions available within MODBRK are explained in the PowerPoint Presentation Library: ‘Modules’ at http://www.asycuda.org/pptlibrary.htm Next

  16. DTI Software Needs ASYCUDA++ Communications software handles the transfer of messages or data between the DTI client computer and the Customs server. The form of message is TCP/IP, or Internet Protocol Back Next Select ‘Back’ to return to main topic index, or ‘Next’ to go on

  17. Communications ASYCUDA++ The simplest means of communication between the DTI Declarant and Customs is to use an existing Internet connection service. (ISP) A direct connection can be made to the Customs server by using the server’s internet address. An alternative is to install communications software (TCP/IP protocol) that allows a direct connection from the Declarant’s modem to the Customs dial-in modem. Next

  18. Communications ASYCUDA++ Many factors are involved in deciding the best means of communication for DTI connections. The available telecommunications infrastructure and local pricing policies are important in making a decision. In some situations a leased line may be viable, as may a fixed line connected to the Customs network. Next

  19. ASYCUDA++ ASYCUDA’s security controls limit access to authorised users. Declarants with DTI authorisation are restricted to accessing only their own Customs declarations. …and Individual Customs Administrations may choose to limit the range of functions made available within the Customs Broker module. Back Next Select ‘Back’ to return to main topic index, or ‘Next’ to go on

  20. DTI/Customs Procedures The Declarant uses the transaction details, together with the reference tables of the ASYCUDA++ software, to prepare the declaration. ‘Reference tables’ are part of the DTI software; all codes, (such as tariff, countries and currencies), tax and calculation details, are on the ‘client’ computer. Next

  21. DTI/Customs Procedures The new declaration can be prepared, checked and saved on the Declarant’s DTI computer, ready for presentation to Customs. Connection to the Customs server is NOT needed for these processes. Next

  22. DTI/Customs Procedures Server When the Declarant is ready to give the declaration to Customs, the DTI client computer is connected to the Customs server. For connection, security controls ask for the Declarant’s assigned user name and password DTI Next

  23. DTI/Customs Procedures After connection, the server first checks that the client PC’s reference files are current. If not, the server transfers an automatic update of non-current files to the client PC. The Declarant can then ‘give’ the declaration to Customs, by asking for Registration or Assessment of the electronic document. Next

  24. DTI/Customs Procedures The system assigns an identifying number and notifies the status of the declaration. Server On receiving the declaration transmission from the DTI Declarant the declarationis registered. Progress on further processes, (such as assessment, payment and release), are determined by the controls set by Customs. Next

  25. DTI/Customs Procedures The Declarant has access to his or her own declarations held on the Customs server: - • Declarations can be viewed at any time and status checked • Lists of previous declarations can be prepared • Declarations can be brought to screen and printed (or to become the basis of a new declaration). Manifest details may be viewed. Transit movements can be initiated. Next

  26. For Declarants, DTI means convenience, time and cost savings, including: - • Quicker service for clients, with lower costs • Freedom to work outside of Customs normal hours of business • Reduced traveling, delays and queues at Customs • Easy access to own declaration data held within the Customs computer • Access to up-to-date trade related information • The opportunity to integrate with own internal systems Next

  27. For Customs, DTI means increased efficiencies, reduced costs and greatly improved service delivery. • Frees resources, by relieving Customs of necessary but unproductive work of data input. • Spreads workload and reduces demand at peak times • Reduces data input errorsand encourages a ‘self-assessment’ environment • Facilitates trade and the achievement of organisational objectives, without compromising Customs controls Back Next Select ‘Back’ to return to main topic index, or ‘Next’ to go on
