IT Support for TFA Implementation eTIR – efficient IT-enabled Trade Facilitation Freeport, 7 May 2015 Philippe Grosjean – Chief Information Officer

2 Road Transport: Key actor in the global supply chain Road transport has become a vital instrument for our economy to function

3 Key obstacles to international road transport Issues causing long waiting times at borders are well known: «Inadequate procedures and lack of mutual recognition of controls»

4 Are there solutions?

5 Implement key UN & WCO facilitation instruments to allow transport to drive trade!

6 Facilitating transit and border crossing procedures A global United Nations Customs transit and guarantee system that uses one simple, secure, mutually recognised procedure for door-to-door transport by road, sea and rail.

7 Objective: Fully computerize the TIR procedure Today’s focus: the eTIR Project

8 WCO Data model WCO Data elements UNTDED Core components XML Code lists: UNECE, ISO,… WSS, X.509, SOAP, HTTPS … eTIR – International standards

9 eTIR – A centralized approach Customs Decentralized approach (bilateral) Customs eTIR International system Centralized approach (multilateral) Customs Instructed by WP.30 Facilitates the integration of newcomers Similar to the current TIR system, eTIR does not require direct communication between countries

10 Joint UNECE-IRU Pilot project (Iran-Turkey) Goal: to conduct a paperless TIR procedure using existing systems First step towards a fully functional eTIR Involves all actors: customs, UNECE, IRU, national associations, TIR Holders Involves electronic guarantee management Additional eTIR pilot projects (Georgia-Turkey / Italy-Turkey) Goal: to exchange electronically and securely TIR related data between customs administrations Also first steps towards a fully functional eTIR Focuses on Customs to Customs data exchange eTIR – Pilot Projects

11 Existing IRU central database acts as repository for the electronic exchange of TIR data between customs (C2C) and TIR guarantees data. Data is exchanged using existing mechanisms (TIR-EPD and Real-Time SafeTIR) Data is automatically forwarded to a UNECE managed database, a light-weight version of the eTIR international system. UNECE-IRU eTIR pilot project – Main concepts

12 eTIR Pilot high-level architecture 12 TIR associations TIR holders IRU TIR holders TIR associations UNECE Customs e ITDB Web Services

13 The TIR System is hosted in the most secure hosting facilities in Switzerland IRU systems are hosted in two highly secure Swisscom data centers Located in Bern in the heart of Switzerland 24/7 monitoring and operations Guaranteed business continuity Green IT

14 IRU Hybrid Cloud High-Level Architecture

15 Ready to go 15 TIR Holder: Order a eGuarantee online Association: Approve and issue the eGuarantee TIR Holder: Pre-declare the transport and GO! Customs: Receive electronic advance cargo information for better risk management Operate paperless, more efficiently with increased security and reduced fraud

16 Harmonized declaration data? Promote WCO data model & standardisations Paper or not paper? as fallback Declarant needs digital signature in each country? 2 step authentication of TIR Holder vis-à-vis IRU and Digital vis-à-vis Customs as solution Some of the challenges faced

17 First transports Target: Summer 2015 Progressive evolution Full eTIR Possible future enhancements CMR/eCMR Scanned images of accompanying documents GPS tracking Next steps

18 Expected results: Streamlined Customs Procedures at Borders  Customs formalities done at origin and destination rather than at borders  Advance cargo info and risk based Customs controls  Harmonisation and digitalisation of transport and Customs documents  Modern solutions for real-time Customs- to-Customs and Business-to-Customs data exchanges

22 TIR Holder – IRU – Customs IT Connectivity Schema Reliable internet connection

23 Goals Lean & collaborative Result oriented Matching business needs Bringing proven results Moving fast Bringing flexibility and agility Software Factory & Agile Methodologies Agile Methodologies: Scrum, Kanban, XP, TDD Software factory: Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment

24 High-Availability & Reliability Target: 99.9%, 24/7, 4h RTO, 0h RPO =>Robust and redundant infrastructure =>Clustering techniques Scalability Millions of messages exchanged yearly with Customs and Associations Increasing demand and complexity with new services & SaaS offerings =>Load balancing & horizontal scalability application architectures Architectural Challenges Maintainability Constantly evolving applications to master complexity and changes =>Agile methods and Test Driven Development Security Sensitive Customs and commercial data exchanged =>Web Service standards (HTTPS, SOAP, WS-Security) =>Encrypted communication & signed payload of messages using keys and certificate =>Firewalled network layers

25 Architectural decisions Best of breed component & technologies Open source or proprietary (if better) Freedom of choice: no vendor lock-in overall Interoperability & open standards are a must Web-based wherever possible AngularJS (=> web components.js) Cloud-based (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) if suitable Service Oriented Architecture Allows to integrate new applications with existing ones without major rewrite RESTful service when possible

26 Fully secure (inc. central DB check) Free of charge Data import Commercial data kept confidential EPD sent simultaneously to all countries Multilingual user interface Accessible via the internet from anywhere in the world 31 connected countries TIR Holder Portal TIR-EPD Key Features & Benefits
