Window

“A facility that allows parties involved in trade

and transport to lodge standardized

information and documents with a single

entry point to fulfill all import, export, and

transit-related regulatory requirements. If

information is electronic, then individual data

should only be submitted once.”

After introducing the SW in Singapore, the time to process trade documents was

reduced from 4 days to 15 minutes.

Thailand has implemented a number of trade facilitation measures such as

procedural reforms and customs modernization as groundwork for SW development.

These measures have eliminated redundant processes and reduced the number of

days for export from 24 days (in 2006) to 14 days (in 2009).

In Hong Kong, China annual savings from the automated information transaction

system are estimated at HK$1.3 billion.

The total savings for the business community from the use of the uTradeHub, which

provides an automated information transaction system in the Republic of Korea,

estimate to be 1 billion and 818.9 million USD. These include savings from

transmission cost by using e-documents, improving productivity by automating

administrative work and improved management, storage and retrieval of information

and documents through use of Information Technology.
