The ASYCUDA System
ASYCUDA is a complete and fully integrated Customs
computer system.
The ASYCUDA interface makes operation easier for
the user by:  Presenting the system to the user in the form of task
specific modules.
 ..modules designed for the needs of an office or of a
particular grouping of functions.

Examples of module functions are:
The Customs Branch Office Module:
 Declaration processing, e.g., data entry,
tax calculations, registration, assessment
and cargo release
 Declaration status reports.
The Customs Accounting Module:
 For payments of duty and taxes
 Accounting reports.

These two modules are closely
interconnected, yet the users in
each office need have access only
to the one module for normal
tasks.
A similar relationship exists
between all modules, i.e.,

 task specific module functional

MODCBR is the core module for customs operations
and covers declaration processing for all procedures.
Records and controls for warehouse and temporary
imports and exports are managed from within
module MODCBR.
Many management controls are
accessible from MODCBR, such as
views of manifests, control selections,
and full transaction and
declaration processing histories.

MODBRK - Customs Broker’s Office
Custom brokers and Declarants can, using
ASYCUDA++ module MODBRK, prepare, check and
(electronically) present declarations to Customs.
System security controls ensure data integrity and
commercial confidentiality.
Duty and tax payment can be processed automatically,
with the optional (and customs approved) use of
credit and pre-payment accounts.
This module can also be used to initiate
processes for the movement of goods
under National transit provisions.

a document or process with
Customs, require connection.

MODCAR - Carrier or Manifesting Module
The manifest module accepts summary manifest detail
and transport document particulars.
Manifests may be stored while under preparation.
Manifests are formalised with Customs by Registration.
Data is secure and actions recorded.
Manifest detail amendments may be made, including
degroupage details, location of goods upon discharge,
shortage and surplus reporting.

Once the data is within ASYCUDA, a fully
accountable ‘stock record’ of goods under
Customs control is created.

MODACC - Accounting or Fiscal Module
This module is for receiving all duties and taxes
calculated through ASYCUDA declaration processing.
Non-declaration cash collections - such as
fees or charges - are also handled, as well as
reimbursements or refunds.
Customer accounts may also be set up by Customs,
allowing declaration clearances (i.e., payments) against
authorised credit levels or prepaid amounts.

MODACC - Accounting or Fiscal Module
The Accounting module gives all the tools and controls to
effectively manage revenue collections - with complete
accountability.
 A full audit trail, with a secure and easily viewable
record of all transactions and activities.
 Strictly controlled levels of access.
 For larger operations, management of cashier shifts,
and multiple cashiers per shift.

MODSEL - Selectivity Controls Module
Selectivity is the process of using declaration
data, together with information from other
sources, to identify goods or transactions of
particular interest to Customs ..
.. to identify those goods or transactions that
may present a risk to national objectives,
such as a risk to collection of duty of taxes,
or to the enforcement of controls.

Specialist User Modules
End
MODSEL - Selectivity Controls Module
Selectivity is the selective inspection of
transactions - either by physical
examination or check of documents
ASYCUDA allows the channeling of
declarations to four processing lanes,
nominated by colour:  Red lane for physical check;
 Yellow lane for documentary check;
 Blue lane for the option of post
import/export audit; or
 Green lane for release
Next

Specialist User Modules
End
MODSEL - Selectivity Controls Module
Any data captured through declaration or
manifest input can be used as a basis for
selection.
The effectiveness of selection as a
administrative policy relies on:  the development of the analytical skills of
staff
 the accurate feed back of results into the
selection process.
 monitoring for quality control

MODSEL - Selectivity Controls Module
For examinations, the module
allows for the automatic
allocation of selected
declarations.
Allocation may be to work group,
(for example, by location or
commodity), or to Examiner
and Chief Examiner.
The allocation process can
also measure workload and
reallocate jobs as necessary.
Selectivity status,
(current or historical),
and details, are easily
viewed from MODSEL
and also the main
Customs office
module, MODCBR.

MODTRS – National Transit Control
The national transit functions within ASYCUDA++ are
used to monitor and control the movement of goods in
transit within the country.
Controlled movements can include all forms of internal
transit, such as:  Border to border (i.e. through transit);
 Border to inland office, or inland office to border; and
 Transfers from one inland office to another

or track the movement of goods in transit: The TIR Carnet deals with the
national segment of an
international transit.

MODTRS – National Transit Control
In additional to normal transit, ASYCUDA++ modules
MODTRS and MODBRK have a function that allows a
simplified (or provisional) import procedure.
A Broker or Declarant can present a document (paper or
electronic) as an intention on an upcoming import.
After authorisation by Customs, the document covers the
movement from a border office to the place where the
goods are to be cleared.
This is called a
First Identification Procedure,
or ‘FIP’

MODTRS – National Transit Control
Controls are managed through the ASYCUDA++ national
computer network.
 An automated messaging process passes details of the
transit goods from an originating office (office of
departure) to a destination office.
 Receipt of the transit goods at the destination office
acquits the transit record at the office of departure.
Goods for import or export clearance are transferred to
the normal Customs control process, by first creating
a goods manifest from the transit document.

office.
This allows for an effective check of the
calculations and the other details of the
manually processed declaration..

MODCHQ - Customs Headquarters Module
The module called the ‘Headquarters Module’ is used
to set up and to maintain the ASYCUDA system’s
reference tables.
The reference tables contain:
 the standard international codes, such as the HS
Tariff, country and currency codes;
 national codes, such as office, broker/declarant and
company codes; and
 calculation data, like rates of currency exchange, duty
and tax rates, special exemptions and concessions.

MODCHQ - Customs Headquarters Module
The headquarters module also gives quick access to
standard statistical extractions from the ASYCUDA
transaction database.
Standard reports give a choice of views of the statistical
database.
If the preprogrammed views or reports are not sufficient
in certain circumstances, SQL queries may be run
from the ASYCUDA interface.
