3. Forward The invisibility and its influence Variety types of codes for cargo transportation information according to individual management systems. The information become invisible when the cargoes depart from control area. Invisibility raises potential risk to border security and additional cost to stakeholders
4. The developing trend Forward In 2005, WCO released SAFE framework defined two pillars of relationship, Customs to Customs and Customs to Business. In 2009, APEC regional economic integration (REI) defined three areas (at the border, behind the border and across the border) of key work priorities for supporting and accelerating the regional economic integration. In 2010, APEC initiated Supply Chain Connectivity Initiative (SCI) to the development of Eight Action Plans for eight logistics chokepoints. SCI also encourage cooperation between public and private sectors to develop efficient supply chain model.
5. Customs Risk Management Mechanism To achieve the balance between the trade security and trade facilitation, it is crucial to build the cross-border platforms and share the high-risk and low-risk container movement information instantly.
6. Customs Risk Management Mechanism High-risk containers In general, the export container has shorter inspection time. The inspection ratio for export containers is much lower than import containers. In consideration of logistic flow efficiency, the export containers are considered as potential-risked, but has no evidence to violate the relevant laws of export economics, or has no enough time for detail inspection, could be affixed with RFID e-Seal and notice next Customs through the information sharing platform. The local Customs can analyze the pre-interchange information for the purpose of further inspection.
7. Customs Risk Management Mechanism Low-risk containers The AEO containers are affixed with RFID e-Seal at the factories. When they arrive at the border, the Customs scan the e-Seals, verify the relevant information, and release the containers. When they arrive the destination country, the local Customs could release the container after scanning the e-Seal and verify the relevant information over the cross-border platform. Develop a safe and green path for cross-border movement of cargo to enhance the customs clearance efficiency.
8. Cross-border Container Information Sharing Platform Two things we needs to build the platform Unity code to identify cargo In consideration of conformity, a unanimous, standardized number as a key to retrieve relevant data is necessary to seamless connect every links in the end-to-end supply chain. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) for container identification, transportation tracking and information sharing.

12. Case Study The cargo movement security subproject Starts From 2009 to 2012. Implementation scope including import, export, transit and transshipment containers. Uses information and communication technologies. Provides a feasible solution to balance facilitation and security. Proposes cross-border cooperation plan for supply chain connectivity.

23. Case Study Cross-border Control A cross-border information exchange platform is essential to the Customs. The platform can provide critical or important information for Customs to ascertain the lowest risk containers such as AEOs’ and provide speedy clearance environment, and target the highest risk containers.
24. Case Study The Cross-border Pilot Project Chinese Taipei Customs initiated the cross-border pilot project in January 2010. The 7th Kuala Lumpur-Taipei Trade and Investment meeting held in April recognized Chinese Taipei’s proposal for bilateral cooperation in the use of RFID e-Seal between Malaysia and Chinese Taipei. The meeting of the Cooperation and Cross-Border Pilot Project on RFID E-Seal between Malaysia and Chinese Taipei for further discussion on the cooperation issues, was held in May 2010.
25. Case Study Two-Stage Test Plan
26. Case Study The containermovement were logged and tracked in the cross-border platform
27. Case Study Achievements
28. Conclusions Cross-border platform is essential for risk-management. Cross-border cooperation should be conducted by the agencies that in charge of border security, such as Customs. The cross-border platform should be conducted and implemented under APEC multilateral cooperation model.
