IT projecTS
• IT considered as a necessary evil (no strategic standing),• No/lack of coordination by contracting organisations, …
According to Pyramid, an IT and telecommunication consultancy, 75% of project fail
• Investment in IT works best when it goes hand in hand with organisational change,
Academics and Business community say

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.

ASYCUDA++ system modules are grouped into main three types, according to function: -
General office User modules
Specialist office User modules
System maintenance and reporting

1. Module ‘MODCBR’‘MODCBR’ is the Customs general (Branch) office module and the central part of the ASYCUDA++ system.
MODCBR is for Customs data entry, declaration processing and general controls.
2. Module ‘MODBRK’‘MODBRK’ is the general office module for Customs brokers or declarants - to prepare and present declarations to Customs by ‘Direct Trader
Input’(DTI).

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

Module MODSDI is used for input anddata 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

Maintenance & ReportingMaintenance & ReportingMaintenance & ReportingMaintenance & Reporting
Additional ASYCUDA modules are used for the setup of the system, (National and Office configuration modules), and for system maintenance and statistical reporting.
Module MODCHQ is used to maintain the system’s reference tables and gives access to standard statistical extracts.

Maintenance & Reporting
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.

Maintenance & Reporting
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
• 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 ?
Fast pace of changes and increasing e-nature of international trade
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.
