UN Summary and Recommendations Governments should continue to simplify and automate trade

procedures under a national Trade Facilitation & Single Window Strategy

Governments should assess possible gaps in the development of IOS systems in their countries, in particular with regard to transport infrastructure management and transport regulations

Governments should encourage collaboration of IOS and Single Window systems with the objective to

..create a Open Single Window environment that delivers integrated and high value added services to trade

To this end, Governments should develop a framework agreement for IOS collaboration in international trade.

PCS as Trade Facilitation tools• Trade facilitation can be defined as the

simplification and harmonisation of international trade procedures including import and export procedures.

• Trade Facilitation is about Trade Logistics• Trade Facilitation should mean Logistics

Performance - LPI: customs, infrastructure, International shipments, logistics competence, tracking and tracing, timeliness

A PCS acts as a Trade Facilitation tool and gateway to National Single Window

The advantages of PCS acting as Trade Facilitation tools and gateways are obvious:

• Avoids double input

• Maximises use of existing infrastructure (links to existing Customs systems rather than creation of new systems)

• Optimises port processes and increases transparency

• Respects confidentiality

• Supports business needs

• Minimises changes
