ASYCUD
is an automated Customs data management system that can handle all
Customs clearance related processes. This is done by implementing
simplified and harmonised procedures, and standardised trade
documents. It is used right now by 92 countries around the world.

The
system allows for the electronic processing of declarations, risk
management, transit operations and expedited clearance of goods, in
addition to collecting timely and accurate statistical data for
fiscal and trade policy objectives.
ASYCUDA covers most foreign trade procedures. The system handles
manifests and customs declarations, accounting procedures, transit
and suspense procedures.
In addition, ASYCUDA generates trade data that can be used for
statistical economic analysis.
