You are very important to us…
Exporters, contribute heavily towards the economy of the country.
Therefore, when introducing a new export procedure however good it may be, it has to be a very systematic, very smooth operation.
And the new procedure should in no way hinder the exporters in anyway.
Implementation challenges Moving from Asy++ to Asycuda world (94 for 17 years). Hardware and software challenges. Legal challenges (Doing away with warrant copy/statistical
copy, going paperless). Infrastructure challenges. (Temporary server room.) Familiarization challenges. (eg. Training) Introducing new operations, eg. Blend sheet, e-CDN, e-
shipping notes. Automating the new system to different export offices. BOI exports and customs, we are unable to automated all
exports. We have to introduce new system phase by phase because, it has to be a very smooth transition.
Unforeseen challenges

Points to remember
Moving to the new system has to be a very smooth procedure.
It should not hinder the exports in anyway.
Therefore, this procedure will be done in several phases in a reasonable time frame.
