•
IT considered as a necessary evil (no strategic standing),
No/lack of coordination by contracting organisations, …
Academics and Business community say
•
Investment in IT works best when it goes hand in hand with
organisational change,
According to Erik Brynjolfsson, economist at MIT

The ASYCUDA++ System
ASYCUDA++ is a complete and fully integrated
Customs computer system.
The ASYCUDA++ interface makes operation easier
for the user by:  Presenting the system to the user in the form of task
specific modules...
 …designed for the needs of an office or of a
particular grouping of functions.
8
The Modules
ASYCUDA++ system modules are grouped
into main three types, according to
function: General office User modules
Specialist office User modules
System maintenance and reporting
9
General User Modules
1. Module ‘MODCBR’
is the Customs general
MODCBR
(Branch) office module and the central part of the
ASYCUDA++ system.
MODCBR is for Customs data entry, declaration
processing and general controls.
MODBRK
2. Module ‘MODBRK’
is the general office module
for Customs brokers or declarants - to prepare and
present declarations to Customs by ‘Direct Trader
Input’(DTI).
10
General User Modules
MODCBR - Customs Branch Office
Customs Declarations:
•Data capture and
validation
•Calculations, messaging
on Customs controls
•Storage of data and
declaration registration
•Selectivity, inspection
routing and reporting of
inspection result
•Assessment, delivery

Customs Declarations:
•Data capture and
validation
•Calculations, messaging
on Customs controls
•Storage of data and
declaration registration
•Selectivity, inspection
routing and reporting of
inspection result
•Assessment, delivery
Linked Functions:
•Manifest details; cargo
discharge
•Duties and taxes payable or
paid
•Selectivity controls - process
routing and nomination of
examiners
•‘Stock records’ for suspense
procedures
•Management information
12
General User Modules
MODBRK - Customs Broker’s Office
This module has similar (but
restricted) data entry and
declaration processing
functions to MODCBR.
MODBRK is used for Direct
Trader Input (DTI)*.
13
General User Modules
MODBRK - Customs Broker’s Office
Used in the Custom Broker or Declarant’s office:To prepare and present Customs Declarations:
 Data capture and validation
 Calculations, messaging
on controls
 Storage of declaration data
and subject to Customs agreement
on acceptable processing flows:
 Registration and/or Assessment
 Payment and release
14
Specialist User Modules
ASYCUDA specialist modules are dedicated to
specific Customs functions.
 MODCAR
- Carrier or Manifest module
 MODACC
- Accounting module
 MODSEL
MODSEL
- Selectivity Controls module
 MODTRS
MODTRS
- National Transit module
 MODSDI
MODSDI
- SAD Deferred Input module
15
Specialist User Modules
MODSEL - Selectivity Controls Module
Selectivity is the selective inspection of
transactions - either by physical
examination or check of documents
ASYCUDA allows the channeling of
declarations to four processing lanes,
nominated by colour:  Red lane for physical check;
 Yellow lane for documentary check;
 Blue lane for the option of post
import/export audit; or
 Green lane for release
16
Specialist User Modules
MODSDI - SAD Deferred Input Module
Module MODSDI is used for input and
data validation of declarations initially
processed through a non-computerised
office.
This allows for an effective check of the
calculations and the other details of the
manually processed declaration..
.. and incorporates the data into the
ASYCUDA database to facilitate
reporting and statistical extractions
17
Maintenance & Reporting
Additional ASYCUDA modules are used for the
setup of the system, (National and Office
configuration modules), and for system
maintenance and statistical reporting.
MODCHQ
 Module MODCHQ is used to maintain the
system’s reference tables and gives access to
standard statistical extracts.
18
Maintenance & Reporting
MODCHQ - Customs Headquarters Module
The module called the ‘Headquarters Module’ is used
to set up and to maintain the ASYCUDA system’s
reference tables.
The reference tables contain:
 the standard international codes, such as the HS
Tariff, country and currency codes;
 national codes, such as office, broker/declarant and
company codes; and
 calculation data, like rates of currency exchange, duty
and tax rates, special exemptions and concessions.
19
Maintenance & Reporting
MODCHQ - Customs Headquarters Module
The headquarters module also gives quick access to
standard statistical extractions from the ASYCUDA
transaction database.
Standard reports give a choice of views of the statistical
database.
If the preprogrammed views or reports are not sufficient
in certain circumstances, SQL queries may be run
from the ASYCUDA interface.

Conclusions

Conclusions
Fast pace of changes and increasing e-nature of
international trade
•
•
•
Reform is necessary, and is a continuous process,
International standards need to be adopted,
IT should become a strategic tool – MIS as a specific wing in
NBR ?
Short timeframe for the project and scope of change makes
cooperation between all stakeholders and timely delivery of
outputs a must
Measures towards long term sustainability of reformed and
automated processes required early in the project
Should the above be recognised and accepted by all
stakeholders the benefits from the ASYCUDA++ migration
project and the associated reformed and modernised
documentation/processes will be increased and felt over
the long term.
