UN/CEFACT: Single Window can be described as "a system that allows traders to lodge information with a single body to fulfil all import or export-related regulatory requirements” WCO: „A facility that allows parties involved in trade and transport to lodge standardized information and documents with a single entry point to fulfill all import, export, and transit related (…) regulatory requirements”. EU Customs Code: „It is appropriate that the information provided by economic operators is shared, taking account of the involved in that control, such as police, border guards, veterinary and environmental authorities, so that the economic operator need give the information only once ('single window')”.
