Quicker export through "electronic window" - unique database of customs and commercial data

Customs Administration of Serbia will additionally simplify export procedure by introducing the unique database, better known as "electronic window".

This project, on which Customs Administration of Serbia is working, should reduce the average time the vehicles spend on the border and the companies' costs, and, in that way, improve their competitiveness on foreign markets.

"Electronic window" is, actually, a privilege that makes it possible for the companies that participate in the trading and transportation to submit all documents at one place and, according to the customs officials, its introduction is a necessary phase in the process of admission into European Union.

Project "Electronic Window" works in a way that the freight-forwarding companies insert all important customs and commercial data, and that information is then forwarded to all members of the export chain, that is, to the Customs Administration, Administration for Veterinarian Medicine and, if necessary, ADministration for Protection of Herbs, as well as to all authorized ministries.

This timely supply of information to all institutions in the chain would contribute that the authorized administrations can determine in advance which goods to check.

People from the Customs Administration of Serbia believe that the application of this project will result in increase of number of vehicles on the border by 10% and, at the same time, 80% of paper documents will be eliminated.
