вЂњBased on the number of yearly transactions, where it concerns exports and commercial imports, there is a saving of $66 million per year just for the purchasing of forms,вЂќ he informed. вЂњIt has improved and trust me if we can save time in our business, time is really money and so it should be a win for everyone,вЂќ he added.Д¬hief Information Officer of JCA, Andre Williams said the system has eliminated the use of paper, which has reduced the processing and waiting times at various stages and has resulted in cost saving. He said that members of the Society who are having challenges will be monitored вЂњin terms of getting them up-to-speed with the new system.вЂќ вЂњThey had a train-the-trainer initially for the customs brokers to train other customs brokers вЂ¦but since the roll out they have had sessions with custom brokers to re-sensitise them on the whole ASYCUDA System,вЂќ he said, adding that the brokers were brought up-to-speed with the changes and improvements made to the system after the initial training was done about a year ago. Waugh who is also President of the Jamaica Society of Customs Brokers said since the roll out, training sessions have been organized for custom brokers in Kingston and Montego Bay. The teething pains are there and they are real but based on discussions, I am confident that they will get it right,вЂќ he added. вЂњItвЂ™s a new thing and one would expect that you will have some teething pains. вЂњFrom time to time, the complaints that we get from individual brokers, sometimes they are not able to go on, but in talking to JCA we realized that we have a number of issues, in terms of the connectivity, in terms of the band width that we get from our Internet service providers,вЂќ he said, adding that some of these problems are being remedied.

He noted that during the initial roll-out, some brokers have had challenges connecting to the system and filling out their documents. It is basically what one would expect in 2016 for us to be working in a smarter environmentвЂ¦to use information technology to guide the process,вЂќ Mr. It is mandatory for all cargo agents, including Freight Forwarders, Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs) and Sub-Agents who submit advance cargo information to do so using the ASYCUDA world system.

вЂњSo that is considered savings on our part and the importers as well,вЂќ he said. He noted that the system is no longer paper-based and customs brokers do not have to print multiple forms to file declarations. The system is being implemented through a US$4 million loan from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).Д¬ustoms Broker, Junior Waugh, who has been using ASYCUDA since its pilot phase in December 2014, said he is pleased with the new processes being implemented. The new automated system is in keeping with the GovernmentвЂ™s strategy to improve trade facilitation and service delivery in customs administration and when completed will see customs declarations, shipping manifests as well as accounting procedures, and transit and suspense procedures all being conducted electronically.

Full implementation of ASYCUDA is expected to be completed in March 2016. This change is quietly taking place at the Jamaica Customs Agency (JCA) where the Automated System for Customs Data (ASYCUDA), a web-based system designed to transform the agency to a paperless operation through the use of electronic documents has been rolled out. A wide cross-section of entities are making it easier for Jamaicans to receive the products and services they need in the most cost effective and less troublesome way.
