Automation of ‘Provisional Payment’
requirements
21 August 2014
Stakeholder Modernisation Meeting (Megawatt)
Varsha Singh
What we need to achieve
Automation to the transactional ‘Security’ (provisional payment) requirements that will also
be included within the CUSDEC message format. This eliminates the separate paper
transaction (DA70) for electronic declarations and allows for full automation and end-to-end
management of Customs’ security requirements. The scope includes pre and post
declaration “security”, as well as “penalty” and “forfeiture” amounts.
Automate Provisional Payments as part of an Integrated Process
• Develop Provisional Payments as part of iCBS
• Manage the conditions pertaining to the type of provisional payment lodged.
• Finalise the liquidation of provisional payments.
