European Commission / Taxation and Customs Union 16 Conference on trade facilitation, single window, data harmonization and SAD in the South Caucasus – Tbilisi23-24 June 2009 Data harmonization from the perspective of the SAD and its use in South Caucasus countries By nature, the SAD encourages and presupposes Data requirements as harmonized as possible in their definitions and representations The use of international standards for data and codes  This enables traders to provide export and import data to customs at a lower cost: Data can be « recycled »: from export to import formalities / declarations, from commercial to Customs documentation.  This ensures better quality of data for Customs administrations. The connection and integration of national procedures in a coherent, global standards-compliant, modernized framework is paramount for the development of the economy and the modernization of public systems.
