Support to the Modernisation of the Customs Service of the Republic of Moldova in line with AA requirements
Project Description
The overall objective of the Twinning project is to support the Republic of Moldova (RoM) in the necessary preparation for implementing the Single Window (SW) and the New Computerized Transit System (NCTS) - requirements foreseen in the chapter on the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) of the Association Agreement (AA).
Within the framework of this project, the Customs Service will benefit from consultancy and methodological support from European experts, in the efforts undertaken towards the implementation of the Convention on a common transit procedure and the Convention on the simplification of formalities in trade in goods and implementation of the New Computerized Transit System.
The Single Window is a facility that allows parties involved in trade and transport activities to lodge standardized information and documents with a single entry point, in order to fulfill all import, export, and transit related regulatory requirements.
Thus, the economic agents, customs brokers and road haulers are exempted from the obligation to submit the necessary documents for examination to several control agencies.
