Forum on new automated Customs’ imports and exports system
View(s):The Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF) in association with the Shippers’ Academy Colombo (SAC) has organised a major forum on new automated import and export systems to be introduced by the Customs next month.
The event will be held on November 4 at the Kingsbury hotel in Colombo.
The SAC in a statement said that the Director General – Customs and his team is now ready to enforce the system that would expedite the export processing system as well as enhance the clearance process of imports which will result in supply chain efficiency.
Gazette notifications issued in this connection will facilitate the Customs Department to fully implement the ASYCUDA led automated system and most importantly the exporters and the importers will migrate into a minimum paperless environment to deal with Customs processing.
SAC said the ages-old panel examination system will be changed and a new examination location for export containers will be introduced at the port access road in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA). This alone will reduce exporters transaction cost dramatically in many aspects.
