Customs

• Copy – paste from current situation, existing process can

continue to exist with minimal changes

• Requires minimal effort

• Supporting web application available at the authorities for

low volume activities

Advantages

Nike

Customs

• “plug & play” is not exactly possible due to changing

SAD legislation

• A new application needed to exchange information with

customs authorities (or web application)

• Don’t look at PLDA in isolation. Look ahead to what’s in

store for the next coming years (ECS, ICS, …).

Periodical Reporting

Nike

Customs

Reporting

• All reports have to be provided in xml format.

• So called ‘attached listings’ in hard copy format, or on cd-

rom or… are not allowed any longer

– Month End reporting (IM4 – after bonded storage)

– Periodical Entry reports for simplified procedure

– Periodical Exit reports for simplified procedure

– CIV reporting

• Requires software development

Nike

Customs

PLDA IT infrastructure

Nike

Customs

• ‘in-house’ developed application

• Integrated with Bonded Warehouse application

• Integrated with Logistics Execution applications

• NCTS will be kept separately until full integration is possible

Internal strategy for PLDA IT infrastructure
