• further developed and maintained by the Data Model Projects Team (DMPT):» meets regularly 3-4 times a year
» open meeting for WCO Member Administrations, IOs, IGOs, as well as private sector
» underway the development activities in the Session (offline) and in the intersession through online facility
By using WCO Data ModelAs the common reference and

WCO DATA MODEL COMPONENTS
Harmonised maximum data setsHarmonised maximum data sets
Step 2•Removal of duplicates and redundancies from the list of original elements
Step 3•Mapping of each data element to the corresponding WCO DM data element
Step 4•Structuring the matching data elements based on the structure of a WCO DM Information package

WCO DM Adoption Strategy
• Customs Main Procedures (IM, EX, TRT, CRI, CRE)
• Single Window• SAFE FoS• E-Commerce
Identify Business Area
• Legal Framework• Procedures• IT System• Paper form
Inventory of Data Requirements • Map national dataset to the
WCO DM• Develop Information
Package• Production of MIG• Measure level of conformity
Adopt the WCO DM
• WCO DM Data Maintenance Request
• Update IT Systems, legal Framework and Procedure
Alignment to the Standard

WCO DM Coverage: Regulatory Space
S: Information systems used by the Member have been checked for conformance. Tables showing conformance with the WCO Data Model have been shared with the WCO Secretariat
P: Projects involving the use of the WCO Data Model are underway or have been completed.
M: Mappings of data elements of national information systems with the WCO Data Model have been produced and (in some cases) shared with the WCO Secretariat.
IP: A "My Information Package" has been published by the Member. (Since this is recently introduced concept, Members are still working on it).
NA: Information regarding conformance with the WCO Data Model is not available.

Challenges
Data harmonisation is an iterative process
The adoption of the WCO Data Model requires: - high level commitment- collaboration with trade- strong support of executive management- technical skills and business capabilities - continuity of knowledge and maintenance
Phased agencies harmonizationto prioritise agencies and agencies' requirements
» Reduces costs to trade by simplifying data requirements
» Improved communication
» Improves reporting and compliance by improving the quality of
data.
» Enables Single Window implementation
• Can be used as the basis for Data Harmonization
• Includes data requirements from Customs, food, agriculture, environment & marine
safety, as well as SPS
• Provides an electronic messaging solution for Single Window
20
Benefits
• 41 Government Agencies
• 7,649 data elements collected
• 275 paper forms
• Reduced to 3993 with the
elimination of “same as”
elements within agencies
• Harmonised to 718 prior to
agency review
• After first quick review = 650
