Duty Suspense Regimes

TATIS solutions address the Customs processing of goods under duty suspense regimes including transit, bonded warehousing and bonded manufacturing, where Customs allows goods to be taken into a country on a temporary basis and for limited purposes, without payment of duty.  The nature of these regimes gives rise to the risk of fraud and revenue leakage, which cannot effectively be controlled through importation verification programmes or normal border control measures.

To extend the scope of revenue protection to duty suspense regimes governments will require, in addition to control mechanisms provided by TATIS, a range of compliance and verification services to validate bonded manufacturers' data, confirm warehouse inventories, or ensure the physical security of warehouses.

Transit

  • Automates effective tracking of Customs transactions

  • Maintains a full account of quantity and value of goods

  • Targets high risk shipments for increased scrutiny by Customs

  • Protects revenue with effective management of the bonds or guarantees that ensure payment should the terms of the transit be violated

Bonded warehousing

  • Tracks the location of non-taxed goods from the time of import and throughout the period of their storage in a warehouse

  • Supports the work of Customs inspectors through the generation of secure labels containing a description of the goods and the location of the goods in a warehouse

  • Delivers a mobile auditing and reporting function to Customs inspectors with an automatic update of the inventory database

  • Protects revenue by automatically adjusting a warehouse operator's bond liability as each shipment of goods enters or leaves the warehouse

Bonded manufacturing

  • Monitors the use of non-taxed raw materials, components and finished products by correlating a manufacturer's warehouse entries and removals using registered bills of material

  • Protects revenue by automatically updating a manufacturer's outstanding duty/tax liability with each entry and removal to ensure bond limits are not exceeded

  • Tracks the period of time that components and raw materials spend in manufacture to ensure that legal limits for a manufacturer's storage are observed

  • Analyses each manufacturer's transaction for indications of potential errors or fraud, based on user-configurable parameters

  • Supports Customs’ audit capability with the provision of comprehensive data analysis tools
