Project eCustoms, must exit from the stall otherwise the clearance procedures will go one step further alone in 2020



It is necessary to exit from the stall that stops the project eCustoms otherwise will be able to be seen an improvement of the procedures of single clearance in 2020. The central director of the Area has asserted Technologies for the innovation of the Agency of Customs, Teresa Alvaro, in the course of the convention on the topic "the clearance in organized sea" from Propeller Club of Ravenna with Propeller Club of Milan that has held in recent days in the conference room of the Harbour Authority of Ravenna.
Alvaro has remembered that eCustoms the solution to the customs dilemma is defined "(28 customs authorities that act as one)". The project has been born in 2008 as political agreement in the European Union and engages the EU commission and the Member States to the progressive foundation of Pan-European customs electronic. According to the leader of the Agency of Customs, it must "exit quickly from the stall because otherwise, in the current situation, it could perhaps be hoped to forward see some step in the procedures of single clearance in 2020" while "it would be necessary to be able to have as soon as possible services integrated with the factory systems. The objective over the long term - it has explained - is that to arrive to the Digital Supply Chain and already today in Italy Customs interact for way electronic with the other actors of the cycle of import/export and with the national platforms of monitoring (and not) of means of transport (on the road, via railroad, by sea and aerial way) as well as with the several "logistic nodes" (ports, to interpose to you, airports, brokers, etc)".

In its Teresa Alvaro participation it has faced also the topic of dwell the Time (the time that elapses by when a container it is disembarked until when it exits from the harbour terminal) remembering as this is reduced by 5,5 to 2,5 days. Concrete savings of time that certify the validity of this system of clearance anticipated of the goods carried out while the ship is in navigation towards the port of final destination.

Speaking about the clearance in sea, the president of the Harbour Authority of Ravenna has invited the ravennati operators to use the instrument of the pre-clearing: "he is - he has rimarcato Galliano Di Marco
- a which put on innovative system from the Agency of Customs that the users have the duty to take advantage of in order to improve the times of clearance of the goods".

The president of Propeller of Ravenna, Simone Bassi, has found that "today the distance between place of departure and place of destination of the goods not measure more in terms of nautical miles or of transit marine Time, but in necessary total days for the breaking in market. The facilitation of the commerce is so important that a day saved in the total tempistica of a import is able to determine an enormous increase in terms of commercial traffics managed from the System Country. In this context - it has emphasized - the port of Ravenna has been pioneer of the experimentation of the pre-clearing before and the clearance in sea then. The "Window Single" - it has observed Low - needs of an ulterior quality jump in order to unfold its full effects and the step forward will be able to be had only with the collaboration of all the other involved administrations, besides Customs; if also a single one of these slows down or it does not collaborate, the system unavoidably of it suffers. The auspice is therefore that the administrations that have until now not aligned make it and as soon as possible".

"The clearance in sea - president of Propeller Club of Milan has said, Riccardo Fuochi - is an important dowel in the construction of a harbour system that it wants to head to a total improvement. Sight goes, therefore, with favor the work of the Agency of Customs to get ahead a process of so important modernization, that it will be able to give new impulses to I throw again of the harbour system. Certainly this not enough: it is necessary to realize the great infrastructural works of development as the dredgings and to proceed in parallel with the improvement and of the quality of the services legacies to the harbour, fundamental operations for the competitiveness of a port of call. This is fundamental for being able to conquer a positioning of door of access to the goods coming from Asia and this, with the imminent increase of the flows determined from Expo 2015 is a great occasion for the ravennate harbour community".

"Pre-clearance - it has added the national president of Propeller Clubs, Umberto Masucci - is already a truth in many Italian ports and must acknowledge of this to the Agency of Customs and the Harbour offices. As cluster we must look also to the positive things and make team with the administrations that work. If then there are defects in some administrations that stop the logistic processes in the Italian ports we must characterize them between the 18 administrations that take care some. A greater coordination between the administrations is not lese majesty and it does not want to say to remove competences to someone but to only efficientare the total process as happens in all the greater European Countries".

In conclusion the general manager of the Agency of Customs, Giuseppe Peleggi, has emphasized the importance to implement to this point the Unico Doganale Door that would be already ready (Customs has from years in fact of the computerized platform AIDA), but it remains the arduous task to choose which only administrative interface to propose the operators (VTMIS, Uirnet, etc).
