The two organisations have worked together for several years and the next project will focus on enabling UNCTAD’s customs management system, ASYCUDAWorld, to manage e-commerce shipments more efficiently, with features including risk assessments for mail shipments and access to IATA’s enhanced partner identification and connectivity platform.
Customs authorities will be able to share advance cargo and mail information requirements across the digitised supply chain.
The collaboration will also include exchanging additional operational electronic information, such as air cargo rules and flight schedules to assist customs officials.
Previous projects between the two organisations include integrating Cargo-XML messaging standards into ASYCUDAWorld.
