The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) has launched an electronic Single Window (eSW), implemented using ASYCUDA technology.
An electronic one-stop-shop, the eSW will make it easier for traders importing and exporting goods to comply with ZIMRA requirements but also to gain the necessary customs clearances from other government agencies. As well as accelerating customs clearances, the system will also increase transparency by helping to ensure clearance status data is accurate, reliable and available online for all related parties to access.
The launch event was attended by ZIMRA Acting Commissioner General, Ms Regina Chinamasa, who said, “With the launch of the Zimbabwe Electronic Single Window, we are hoping that as users put their documents online and we process them, there is minimum human intervention in terms of face-to-face interactions. We are looking at this from a perspective that it will enhance our process efficiencies, once you have process efficiencies, you then notice that corruption tends to go down.”
