ASW is an environment whereby the 10 AMS NSW operate & integrate to expedite trade between ASEAN Member States
It is a regional facility to enable the seamless, standardized and harmonised routing of trade and customs-related information for customs clearance within Member states
The ASW and its National Single Windows (NSWs) operate in the open environment (functionally and technically) thus enabling linkages to other single windows in the near future

6. ASEAN SINGLE WINDOW (ASW)
The Agreement to establish and implement ASW was signed on 9 December 2005 by ASEAN Economic Ministers at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

11. ASW PILOT PROJECT
The objective of the ASW Pilot Project is to design, test and evaluate the technical architecture for the exchange of data between ASEAN Member States (AMS)
The ASW Pilot Project consist of 3 Components
Component 1
Component 2
Component 3
Study on Most
Feasible Network Architecture using Federated Approach
Setting up network
Infrastructure
to implement the ASW Pilot Project
Evaluation of
Pilot Project & recommendations
for the eventual ASW

12. ASW PILOT PROJECT
The 2 documents identified to be exchanged electronically through the ASW are :
ATIGA FORM D (Formerly known as CEPT Form D)
ASEAN Customs Declaration Document (ACDD)
This presentation focus on the feasibility testing of electronic exchange of ATIGA Form D

13. Why Embark on Electronic Exchange
Increased
Transparency
Online Information readily available
Expediated Cargo Clearance
BENEFITS
Minimize
Documentation
Fraud
Accurate Record
Of Utilization (COO)
Facilitate Trade
Without compromising controls

14. CEPT FORM D
The mechanism to achieve the ASEAN Free Trade Area is through the implementation of the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) Scheme which offers preferential duty rate for goods originating from ASEAN countries
Importers need to produce the CEPT Form D (Certificate of Origin) to enjoy the CEPT Import Duty Rate
The certifying authority of CEPT Form D is the government of the exporting member state

15. CEPT FORM D CEPT Form D is of A4 size and in the prescribed format
CEPT Form D consist of 4 copies:
Original & Triplicate – submit to Customs of Importing Country
Duplicate – retained by the issuing authority
Quadruplicate – retained by the exporter
The triplicate shall be endorsed and returned to the issuing authority within reasonable period of time.

16. ASEAN TRADE IN GOODS AGREEMENT ATIGA FORM D
The CEPT Scheme was replaced with Asean Trade In Goods Agreement (ATIGA)
ATIGA came into force on 17th May 2010
In Malaysia, ATIGA Form D is issued by Ministry of International Trade & Industry

18. ASW FEASIBILITY TESTING
The ASW Feasibility Testing initiative was conceptualized during the 3rd Meeting of the ASW TWG Meeting in 2007
AMS agreed to use a federated approach to facilitate electronic documents exchange between NSWs of AMS
Objectives of The ASW Feasibility Testing:
To test environment where NSWs integrate and operate simulation
To enable seamless routing and communication between NSWs
As a Indicator of NSW readiness for ASW
To discover potential errors/ shortfall
To familiarize with ASW environment

19. ASW FEASIBILITY TESTING
AMS agreed to conduct the Feasibility Testing through the exchange of electronic ATIGA Form D
The pilot testing started in June 2009
It involved 3 countries :
Indonesia
Malaysia
Phillipines ( temporarily inactive)

21. ASW EXCHANGE GATEWAY (FEASIBILITY TESTING)

22. FEASIBILITY TESTING - The Approach
Identify Information Flow for ATIGA Form D
Extract data elements from ATIGA Form D
Define data elements against WCO Data Set, UNTDED
Incorporate data elements in ASEAN Data Model (Wokbase 1)
Mapping of ATIGA Form D data elements to UNeDOC Data Model
Establish XML Schema

High Level of Commitment from AMS Government & Strong Political Will 1
Streamlining of ATIGA Form D Business Process 2
Data Harmonisation 3 4
Sound legal foundation to support
cross border sharing of data
Funding /Technical Assistance 5

31. FEASIBILITY TESTING -CHALLENGES

33. FLASHBACK TO THE PAST –ORGANIZATIONAL MOBILIZATION
ASEAN SINGLE WINDOW STEERING COMMITTEE (ASWC)
WORKING GROUP (WG) ON TECHNICAL MATTERS
WG ON LEGAL & REGULATORY MATTER
ASEAN SECRETARIAT
ASWSC was established in March to coordinate the implementation of ASW
Supported by 2 working groups : TWG & LWG
ASWSC focuses on development of ASW including endorsement of the recommendation forwarded by the TWG and LWG

34. LAW & REGULATORY MATTERS
Memorandum of Understanding on the Implementation of ASEAN Single Window was signed by all ASEAN Member States
On going discussions to developed the legal framework of the ASW – Legislations and regulations for cross border exchange
Legal Gap Analysis had been conducted in AMS (example Viet Nam )

35. ASEAN DATA MODEL
ASEAN Data Model (ADM) (Workbase 1.0) was evolved to ensure seamless exchange of standardize data between ASEAN Member State (AMS)
ADM (Workbase 1.0) comprise of data elements of the following documents :
ASEAN Customs Declaration Document (ACDD)
Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) Form D, currently known as ATIGA Form D
The data set was developed based on International Standards such as WCO Data Model, UNTDED, UNeDocs (Work Base 2.0)
ADM (Version 2.0) is to be aligned with WCO Data Model Version 3.0
