This implementation is scheduled to go live on Monday 13th July, piloting at the VSEA office. Customs Brokers, please click on the VeSW icon on the left to see the guide to understanding the new system messages and what to do in each scenario.
In order to facilitate clearance, while at the same time enhance border security, Customs Brokers will be required to attach Biosecurity Import Permits to their Customs declarations, should the declarations contain animal, plant or materials that require such Permits. This requirement will commence on Monday 29th June. Biosecurity Import Permits can be extracted directly from the Single Window SPS Module and attach to the declaration as PDF files for now, with the code “SPS”. To start off, this requirement will be optional, meaning the declaration can still be assessed if the permit does not exist, however it is recommended to attach it to facilitate clearance with Biosecurity. For any queries, please email the VeSW Project team.
Since the decision was made to utilise ASYCUDA as the Vanuatu Single Window System, efforts have been made to “rebrand” the ASYCUDA system as the Single Window System.
The latest change was to amend the ASYCUDA Portal to be the Vanuatu Single Window Portal. Already the new Portal address is being rolled out and soon viewers and users will only be able to access the Portal via the new address: https://singlewindow.gov.vu while the ASYCUDA Portal address will be phased out.
