For queries about the project, or for assistance with the system, our clients are invited to contact the JCA at 750-3030 or 922-5140-8. The project is funded by the Government of Jamaica and the Inter-American Development Bank. O Better integration with Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) through data sharing and validation. O Efficiency gained from automatic write-off of permits/ licences through integration with the e-Trade system. O Reduction in travelling costs to clients, as a significant number of commercial declarations processed do not need the broker and/or importer to visit Customs House as before the declaration is submitted and paid online.

O More efficient and speedier preparation of large declarations with multiple items by the brokers. O Improvement of ‘Business to Business’ (B2B) logistics through the Port Community System (PCS) as ASYCUDA will be tightly integrated with the PCS allowing for efficient logistics management. Reduces time for documentary review, thereby expediting declaration processing. o Integration of Customs with other trade regulatory agencies. The ASYCUDA system has the same 21 sections as the HS that was issued by the Customs Co-operation Council. O Automated control of trade agreements through validation of allowable commodities. This system is based on customs tariffs and is the only officially automated database system in Suriname used for collection of international trade statistics. o Provision of more accurate and consistent tax calculations. O Reduction of waiting time for commercial importation due to removal of hardcopy requirements. O Comprehensive review of business processes in order to simplify procedures for customers by removing bureaucratic processes and bottlenecks where possible. This has resulted in significant reduction in costs for the agency and our clients. With the implementation of this system, stakeholders can make electronic submissions of their declarations and other supporting documents. Prior to ASYCUDA World, importers and brokers were required to physically submit paper-based documentation for processing. This technology-driven system simplifies and standardises procedures for customers, reduces waiting time, provides more accurate and consistent tax calculations, and addresses revenue leakage, through enhanced system controls and accountability. The implementation of ASYCUDA World is in keeping with the strategy of the Government of Jamaica (GOJ) to engender greater efficiency and high performance among public sector entities.įor instance, the system provides the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN) with direct and real-time electronic access to data on imports and exports, trans-shipment and other areas, thus significantly reducing or altogether eliminating the need for the entity to manually peruse documents covering these areas. ASYCUDA accelerates Customs clearance and simplifies procedures through computerisation.
