    Import Procedure Overview

    • The import procedure involves several stages, from arrival of goods to release.
    • Stages are categorized by color-coded workflow (BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, RED)
    • Each stage involves specific roles (broker/importer, cashier/bank, customs, terminal operator).

    Import Procedure Steps

    • Arrival of goods: Goods arrive.
    • Prepare Declaration & Assessment: Documents are prepared, assessed.
    • Payment of Taxes & Duties: Taxes and duties are paid.
    • Reception of Documents: Relevant documents are received.
    • Risk Management: Risk assessment is done, determining the required procedures.
    • Release of Goods: Goods are released after the process.

    ASYCUDA World System

    • ASYCUDA World is a system used in import procedures.
    • Agents use the system to lodge declarations, check consistency, pay duties, and submit documents to Customs.
    • Customs use ASYCUDA World to assess, verify, categorize, and manage documents.
    • The system uses colors to determine the process stages (e.g., GREEN for smooth process, RED for issues needing revision).

    IMP Procedure (Detailed Steps)

    • Assessment & Selectivity (IMP 1): Agent confirms arrival details, prepares shipping documents with declaration lodged using DTI. The system assesses the declaration consistency and completeness.
    • Payment of Duties (IMP 2): Payment of correct tax amount and verifying it with Customs.
    • Reception of Documents (IMP 3): Verification if declaration is complete and contains signed documents, verifying if all documents are attached, and triggering selectivity. Custom officer assignment and document submission are crucial steps.
    • Documentary Check (IMP 4): Documents checked for discrepancies. Further actions depend on the outcomes (e.g., amendment or rerouting).
    • Documentary & Physical Examination (IMP 4): Physical exam and documentary check for discrepancies, conforming to requirements, potential rerouting needed.
