Reason
for extension
The extension is due to the ongoing process to reform the Customs
Code and, above all, the absence of a development partner to support us in
implementing the measure. To implement this provision, assistance is required
primarily in the following areas:
·_
setting up an advisory committee to study all
requests giving rise to a reasoned opinion from the Director-General of
Customs;
·_
introducing an electronic system for the
submission and publication of advance rulings (within the framework of
e-customs, where operators can apply for advance rulings);
·_
organizing training on request management and
processing;
·_
organizing training for the private sector on the
use of the electronic system;
·_
launching an awareness-raising campaign to inform
beneficiaries of the existence of this new service.
