Today, the Cook Islands went live with their bespoke version of the ASYCUDAWorld customs management software. Aimed at facilitating regional and international trade by improving customs clearance processes.
The launch of ASYCUDAWorld in the Cook Islands means that the country will join its neighbours Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and, more recently, Kiribati and Tuvalu in running ASYCUDA’s cutting edge, customs management software. The Cook Islands’ current GDP is $384 million and during 2020 it exported $20 million while importing $105 million of goods. It is believed that the implementation of ASYCUDAWorld will simplify the country’s customs clearance processes, helping those who trade with the country to increase the pace of their transactions, and in turn grow the domestic economy.
Today’s launch will involve initially rolling out the ASYCUDAWorld software so that it covers around 75% of imports processed by Cook Islands customs, before the system is eventually made active for all import and export customs clearances. The ASYCUDAWorld modules going live today will manage customs declaration processing and collect payments. These will complement the already live ASYCUDA electronic cargo manifest module.
Under the November 2019 PACER Plus agreement, ASYCUDA is partnering with 6 countries (Cook Islands, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Tonga, and Tuvalu) to optimize border and customs procedures of Pacific Island countries, boosting economies by facilitating regional and international trade.
