Description
Customs and forwarding agents are carrying out vast majority of the export-import related declarations and reporting, as it is required by law by an Estonian Tax and Customs Board or its analogues in other countries. In addition to declarations, companies with largest trade volumes on the market are also using other customs agents` services for compiling and managing other documentation. Currently, there is no data management solution on the market that stands on the specifics of customs agents` everyday work. The project idea is to create an internationally competitive customs agent data exchange and management system for custom agents, which helps companies in the field of logistics to simplify the work, achieve decrease of resource costs for submitting and managing declarations and reports and at the same time, facilitating return of trade-related tax revenue. Small grant scheme project concentrates on market research, competition and marketing studies and environmental impact analysis. Partnership will achieve the comprehensive ICT solution and testing in the later phase of development.
