Business Cases| CUSTOMS DOCUMENTS SYSTEM | Business Case 1 |
| Category | G2B, G2C | | The Challenge | Customs import/export/transit forms are often subject to fraud in customs proceedings and value added tax G2B regulations. The value of losses in the EU amounts to billions of € every year. | | Environment | Government – customs administration, tax administration, inspections | | The Solution | System for the protection of customs import/export/transit forms. The system protects: - The content of customs documents against data modification.
- The content of customs documents against multiple usage.
- Against criminal association by internal employees of customs administration (i.e. insider fraud).
- Against mistakes caused by human error.
| | Description | The system creates security links between customs offices, customs administration and customs inspection. The content of every customs import/export/transit form is protected and stored in the form of PDMark background data channel. Consequently, every document can be verified at any time and at any point in the system. The point of verification of customs documents is usually a border customs office or a tax inspection. Currently, when a customs document is created with the PDMark background data channel, the system also creates a record of it, stores the protected document content into the database and sends it to the central administration server. The central server matches the records of all created documents to all verified documents and conversely, all verified documents to all created documents. Every record must be paired till the given time. It means that every time a customs document is verified it must have a correct record of creation of this document. This system affords protection ag ainst the likelihood of internal employees becoming involved in criminal activities
The second important place of verification is the tax inspection. The tax inspector verifies that every customs document of the checked company that declares an amount of VAT to be paid has: - correct content,
- the document belongs to the company,
- if the document was created and/or verified somewhere in the system.
| | Benefits | The system is used as a deterrent against fraud. By preventing just one or two cases of fraudulent import/export, rapid return on investment is achieved -This can be as quick as one month after system delivery. |
