The Context: Production Globalization Boeing 787 Dreamliner In the last 20 years production processes have increasingly been fragmented, thus changing the grid of international production and leading to more complex connections among companies. Today many goods are the final outcome of long production chains crossing several countries. 2
The Strategic Framework: the Global Supply Chain Nations do not trade, nor do sectors. It is firms that trade The nature of trade is linked to the main production methods The new strategic framework demands to transform customs into a proactive partner to trade, whilst protecting fiscal, safety and security interests Towards a holistics approach to solve the customs dilemma a control system that supports trade 3

Real-Time Controls on each Operation RED = Physical Inspection ORANGE = Scanner Control YELLOW = Documentary Control GREEN = Computerized Control All Customs declarations are screened by the system and addressed to 4 control channels (green, yellow, orange, red) according to their matching precise risk profiles developed by combining some of the data in the declarations (origin, provenance, type of goods..) Risk profiles can be modified in real-time Subjective profiles (WHITE/BLACK LIST) can decrease or increase the risk level. Through a voluntary AUDIT procedure, enterprises can obtain the certification of their reliability rate (AEO model - AUTHORIZED ECONOMIC OPERATOR), which is linked to a customized control level 9

The Italian Customs Single Window The Customs Single Window has been developed in the framework of the Lisbon Agenda and of Decision 2004/387/EC of the European Parliament and the Council (design egov services to increase the competitiveness of enterprises, thus making the organization of controls more effective) Implementation of a connection mechanism enabling the dialogue between the administrations and bodies that participate in customs operations by granting authorizations, permits, licences or carrying out controls The different Administrations integrate the processes within their competence (of which they are holders), thus offering a common interface to citizens and enterprises Moving from the data collected in the customs declaration an ICT process is triggered to check the documents supporting the declaration and to perform controls
Assets of the Italian Customs Single Window Results Remarkable reduction in time and costs for businesses and Public Administrations One Stop Shop: unified controls (more effective and efficient controls based on joint risk analysis) From paper to Web. from web to cloud. 14

Il Trovatore Project: overall Tracking and Tracing http://assistenza.agenziadogane.it/trovatore/en/ DIGITAL GLOBAL SUPPLY-CHAIN Boost the competitiveness of the national logistics system: immaterial infrastructures in order to have a logistics platform virtually extended to the entire national territory extend the network of controls beyond the EU borders to promote the development of new trade routes identification of innovative solutions based on RFId (Radio-Frequency Identification) technologies seal containers, remotely check the goods unloaded up to their transfer to the dry-port, and better define the reference organization model. JRC UIRNet In August 2008 a cooperation agreement was signed with the Institute for the protection and the security of citizens within the Joint Research Center of the EU Commission. The agreement aims at identifying new solutions to trace and track down goods. The agreement will be renewed and is needed to have a European certification of the tested solutions. 20
Full Traceability In March 2009 an agreement was signed with UIRNeT S.p.A to develop a computer network for the control and monitoring of goods during the process of "import - destination - unloading - loading - export Designing and innovating by exploiting the opportunities of electronic customs: immaterial structures set up a virtual and larger logistic platform; extend the control network beyond the EU (Tianjin-Genoa Agreement) MONITORING DOCUMENTS + PHYSICAL LOCALIZATION 21

Facilities in the Maritime Sector: Directive 2010/65/EU Directive 2010/65/EU modernizes the reporting formalities applicable to maritime transport (information which must be provided for administrative and procedural purposes) for ships arriving in and departing from ports in European Union (EU) countries, foreseeing that parties involved in trade and transport should be able to lodge standardized information and documents via an electronic single window to fulfill reporting formalities (Maritime Single Window). Ongoing works at Commission level to prepare European guidelines. The Italian delegation, supported by the WSC and ECSA, argued the need to ensure a coordinated development of the maritime single window and the customs single window: Art.5 (1) 2 indicates that this single window, linking SafeSeaNet (henceforth: SSN), e-customs and other electronic systems, shall be the place where all information is reported once and made available to various competent authorities. This requirement means that on the one hand the information submitted through this single window should be made available to relevant authorities. On the other hand, the relevant information not provided directly to the NSW but provided through e-customs, SSN and other electronic systems should be accessible/available through this single window service. Technically this means that a common defined interface is to take place in order to enable interoperability among the systems. 24
