Advance information

• Documents have to arrive in electronic format to
  be immediately available for further data
  processing
• Documents must be aligned to Customs business
  needs
• Customs is interested to receive the data
  directly from the source (initiator of the
  consignment usually the Seller)For advance
  information a small number of documents that are
  of interest (Invoice and perhaps Packing List)
• Paper invoices are often manipulated. Customs is
  very concerned that electronic invoices will
  offer more opportunities for document alteration.
  Electronic documents will only be accepted with
  adequate security mechanisms in place.

15
New scenario for advance information

• Customs depend on the foreign trade document
• Aligned documents scenario provide efficiency
  gains for the issuer of the document.
• The new scenario is implemented through pressure
  from the buyer to benefit preferential treatment
• Electronic signatures and authentication is an
  integral component of the document and the
  underlying standard
• Buyer/Importer and importing countries Customs

Linking UNeDocs and Modelling approach

• A methodology to
• set out a process to formalize the intangible
  knowledge held within an activity and
• translating it into a comprehensible set of
  messages
• which can be communicated, through a consistent
  production and delivery mechanism.
