
ASW is an environment whereby the 10
AMS NSW operate & integrate to expedite
trade between ASEAN Member States

It is a regional facility to enable the
seamless, standardized and harmonised
routing of trade and customs-related
information for customs clearance within
Member states

The ASW and its National Single
Windows (NSWs) operate in the open
environment
(functionally
and
technically) thus enabling linkages to
other single windows in the near future

ASW PILOT PROJECT
The objective of the ASW Pilot Project is to design, test and
evaluate the technical architecture for the exchange of data
between ASEAN Member States (AMS)
The ASW Pilot Project consist of 3 Components
Component

The 2 documents identified
through the ASW are :
to be exchanged electronically

CEPT FORM D
The mechanism to achieve the ASEAN Free Trade Area is
through the implementation of the Common Effective
Preferential Tariff (CEPT) Scheme which offers preferential
duty rate for goods originating from ASEAN countries
Importers need to produce the CEPT Form D (Certificate of
Origin) to enjoy the CEPT Import Duty Rate
The certifying authority of CEPT Form D is the government of
the exporting member state
CEPT FORM D
CEPT Form D is of A4 size and in the prescribed format
CEPT Form D consist of 4 copies:
Original & Triplicate – submit to Customs of Importing
Country
Duplicate – retained by the issuing authority
Quadruplicate – retained by the exporter
The triplicate shall be endorsed and returned to the issuing
authority within reasonable period of time.
ASEAN TRADE IN GOODS AGREEMENT
ATIGA FORM D
The CEPT Scheme was replaced with Asean Trade
In Goods Agreement (ATIGA)
ATIGA came into force on 17th May 2010
In Malaysia, ATIGA Form D is issued by Ministry of

ASW FEASIBILITY TESTING
The
ASW Feasibility Testing initiative
was
conceptualized during the 3rd Meeting of the ASW TWG
Meeting in 2007
AMS agreed to use a federated approach to facilitate
electronic documents exchange between NSWs of AMS
Objectives of The ASW Feasibility Testing:
To test environment where NSWs integrate and operate
simulation
To enable seamless routing and communication between NSWs
As a Indicator of NSW readiness for ASW
To discover potential errors/ shortfall
To familiarize with ASW environment
ASW FEASIBILITY TESTING
AMS agreed to conduct the Feasibility Testing
through the exchange of electronic ATIGA
Form D
The pilot testing started in June 2009
It involved 3 countries :
Indonesia
Malaysia
Phillipines ( temporarily inactive)

FEASIBILITY TESTING
- The Approach
Identify Information Flow for ATIGA Form D
Extract data elements from ATIGA Form D
Define data elements against WCO Data Set, UNTDED
Incorporate data elements in ASEAN Data Model
(Wokbase 1)
Mapping of ATIGA Form D data elements to UNeDOC
Data Model
Establish XML Schema

FLASHBACK TO THE PAST –
ORGANIZATIONAL MOBILIZATION
ASEAN SINGLE
WINDOW STEERING
COMMITTEE (ASWC)
 Supported by 2 working
groups : TWG & LWG
ASEAN
SECRETARIAT
WORKING
GROUP (WG) ON
TECHNICAL
MATTERS
 ASWSC was established in
March 2007 to coordinate
the
implementation of
ASW
WG ON LEGAL
& REGULATORY
MATTER
 ASWSC
focuses
on
development
of
ASW
including endorsement of
the
recommendation
forwarded by the TWG and
LWG
LAW & REGULATORY MATTERS
Memorandum
of
Understanding
on
the
Implementation of ASEAN Single Window was
signed by all ASEAN Member States
On going discussions to developed the legal
framework of the ASW – Legislations and
regulations for cross border exchange
Legal Gap Analysis had been conducted in AMS
(example Viet Nam )
ASEAN DATA MODEL
ASEAN Data Model (ADM) (Workbase 1.0) was evolved
to ensure seamless exchange of standardize data
between ASEAN Member State (AMS)
ADM (Workbase 1.0) comprise of data elements of the
following documents :
– ASEAN Customs Declaration Document (ACDD)
– Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) Form D,
currently known as ATIGA Form D
The data set was developed based on International
Standards such as WCO Data Model, UNTDED, UNeDocs
(Work Base 2.0)
ADM (Version 2.0) is to be aligned with WCO Data Model
Version 3.0
