Editor's Notes
In addition to the traditional functions, Customs Service is establishing Import-Export Logistics System to clear imported raw materials and exports as soon as possible in line with national policy focused on facilitating exports.
The European Union (EU) is the largest Customs union in the world, with an internal market of some 500 million citizens.
EU Customs services handle nearly 20% of world imports, some 1,545 million tones of sea cargo and 3 million tones of air cargo each year. In 2007, EU Customs offices processed 183 million declarations.
Ffinally..
The objectives of the e-Customs are:
The economy is based on the customs union
Mycolleague Hasan will explain it laterThis system complies with the rules and procedures of Germany
The electronic customs multi-annual strategic plan defines these projects to achieve the electronic custom initiativeEach system operates individually but they need another system that integrate the whole solution
On a daily basis, international traders have to prepare and submit increasing amounts of information to various governmental controlling authorities, with each authority often having its own specific automated system and paper forms.These extensive information requirements can become a significant obstacle to business and can hinder the development of international trade
The “Single Window” environment provides one ‘entrance’ either physical or electronic, for submission and handling of all data, and documents related to release and clearance of an international transaction
The “Single Window” environment aims to expedite and simplify information flows between trade and government and bring meaningful gains to all parties involved in cross-border trade.
The European Union eCustoms Initiative for export clearance, Automated Export System, is included in ATLAS customs processing system, which simplify customs processes and creates more transparency .
ATLAS is 3-tier system to automate customs clearance based on Sun servers and storage systems.

[Beteiligten-Identifikations-Nummer]utilizing a customs agent, the custom administration's internet customs declaration service, online customs software or certified ATLAS software available on the market.Using ATLAS for exports requires special hardware and software depending on the number and volume of your export declarations.It is necessary to register with KoStATLAS for the use of the IT process and to indicate the network connection ( form 0871 and 0874).In addition, each participant requires a participant-identification-number (BIN) which replaces the handwritten signature, plus a customs number ( form 0872 and 0870) where company specific data are stored.EORI, an EU-wide system for the registration and identification of 'economic operators', was introduced in November 2009 (EORI = Economic Operators Registration and Identification System). The EORI number serves as a unique identification number in the completion of customs formalities. It replaces the previous 'customs number'.

So, theteam designed a new three-tier mirroringsystem architecture with Web browsersleveling the first tier. Approximately 30Sun Fire™ V480/V490 servers link the Webbrowsers to Web and applications servers.Behind this, there are at total of 6 Sun Fire15K and Sun Fire E25K servers functioningas database servers. Data is stored on 4 SunStorageTek™ 9990 and 9980 systems at twolocations approximately 10 kilometers apartand Sun StorageTek 6540 arrays for disasterrecovery. The Sun Fire servers are running theSolaris™ 10 Operating System for improvedperformance, stability and security. Thestorage systems are connected to the SunFire servers with 4 McData Director ClassSwitches. Data is replicated between theSun storage systems using Sun StorageTek9900 TrueCopy Remote Replication andSun StorageTek 9900 ShadowImage In-System Replication software. In addition,Sun StorageTek QFS software supports filesharing and Sun StorageTek Operations
An electronic export declaration can be processed by using the internet customs declaration to be found on www.zoll.de. This alternative that is free of charge is especially suitable for people or companies that do only have occasional exports. A second alternative is offered by certified software providers, whose servers are directly connected to the system ATLAS of the German customs authorities. Companies that handle many exports may decide in favour of an in-house solution. Here, an interface between the ERP and ATLAS needs to be created. Another possibility is to employ a service provider (outsourcing) that transmits the data to the customs authorities on behalf of the exporter.
ATLAS consistsof two areas: the internal componentof the customs which isdesignated as “user system” andthe external component for thecompany, the so-called “participantsystem“. Both components communicatevia an FTAM interfaceby using EDIFACT messages.The participant systems arecertified software of privatesuppliers
FTAM: It is an ISO standard 8571, is an OSI Application layer protocol for File Transfer Access and Management. FTAM attempted to combine into a single protocol both file transfer, similar in concept to the Internet FTP, as well as remote access to open files, similar to NFS.EDIFACT: United Nations/Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and Transport (UN/EDIFACT) is the international EDI standard developed under the United Nations.EDIFACT has been adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as the ISO standard ISO 9735.
Once you have installed the certified export module ECS/AES (Export Control System/Automated Export System) of the customs software ATLAS, you as the exporter can communicate directly with your authorized customs office. The customs office checks your data and sends you as confirmation the accompanying export document (ABD) as pdf-file. The ABD replaces the old export declaration. In lieu of the old export stamp, the ABD carries a customs identification number (MRN = Movement Reference Number) for the entire export process. You then print the ABD and attach it, together with the trade invoice and proforma invoice, to the parcel. DPD will then present it to the external border customs office. The border customs office will then retrieve the data from the central server and confirm the export of the goods.
