ArmInfo. The State Revenue Committee (SRC) of Armenia plans to fully transfer the implementation of customs procedures to an electronic platform thanks to cooperation with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the CSRC press service reported.
According to the information, the working group created for this purpose has already begun to study the existing customs procedures, existing problems and ways to overcome them. An assessment of the available capacity is also underway. Based on the results of the work, partners from the EBRD will offer the best model for digitizing customs procedures. Upon completion of the project, a document will be developed that financially justifies the reform strategy.
"During a meeting with an international expert involved in the work of the working group, Deputy Chairperson of the SRC Shushan Nersisyan has noted that the Committee is moving towards the digitization of customs procedures," the statement says.
Having completed all the planned processes in the department, they expect to form a completely new customs service. In particular, when customs clearance of goods, an economic entity or his representative will no longer have to have direct contact with a customs officer; online processes will replace paperwork and the need to visit customs.
