1. THE DATA PIPELINE VISION: THE NEXT STEP FOR SINGLE WINDOWS 1 Yao-Hua Tan Professor of Information and Communication Technology Delft University of Technology Netherlands y.tan@tudelft.nl Vice-Chair Committee on Trade Trade Division UN Economic Commission for Europe

2. Trade Facilitation topics Single Window One time provisioning of business data to all government agencies Via on-line portal provided by the national government System-Based Control (vs. Transaction-Based Control) Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) “Trusted Trader” Certificate ‘Green Lane’: less inspections at the border Coordinated Border Management: integrate Customs controls with other inspection agencies Security Safety (Agricultural, Food) Indirect Taxes (e.g. VAT, Excise) 40% of Delay time at large Mainports is caused by Uncoordinated Inspections at the border Prof. Dr. Yao-Hua Tan

3. Solution Principles for Trade Facilitation (EU-projects ITAIDE, CASSANDRA) Piggy-Back Principle; Customs can re-use high-quality data from businesses in the supply chain Current data (Manifest, Bill-of-Lading etc) is often produced by the logistic service provider not accurate enough for advanced risk analysis/business intelligence Re-use business’s own control data & business intelligence for Customs & Tax control purposes Food- and Pharmaceutical supply chains From Data Push to Data Pull Data push: business has to provide to each different government agency the data in the format they require. Data pull: government gets direct access to control data Direct Access for Customs into the ERP systems of Businesses System-Based Audit, AEO 3

5. Prof. Dr. Yao-Hua Tan 2. Information Sharing via SOA Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Open standaarden e.g. EPCIS electronic product codes Dutch Customs EPCIS Discovery Service Web ERP  e.g. export declaration  e.g. bill of lading Maersk ERP  e.g. purchase order Heineken ERP TREC Get reference number form TREC Use the reference number and Web EPCIS- Electronic Product Code Information System

6. Prof. Dr. Yao-Hua Tan Container e-Seal + SOA are more Secure and Efficient than traditional Paper Documents Better tracking and control of goods flows Border control procedures can be much (!) simplified 28 documents for export of excise goods become redudant Rotterdam Customs NL TREC EPCIS ERP Discovery Service Web Export evidence

9. Drivers & Benefits Drivers: Partnership Trade-Customs Most multi-national companies in UK, NL participate in innovation pilots with customs Partnership Customs-Universities Benefits: 40% of Delay time at large Mainports is caused by Uncoordinated Inspections at the border, can be reduced to 4% Data Pipeline Coordinated border management System-Based Control 9
