ASYCUDA is an automated customs management system that covers most foreign trade procedures. It deals with manifests, customs declarations, accounting procedures, transit and suspensive regimes, but also a means of offering considerable opportunities to the customs administration, international trade actors and other public administrations.

The migration to SYDONIAWorld is aimed at strengthening the operational capabilities of customs and the use of electronic data for the management of customs clearance procedures in accordance with national and international regulations. In addition, the SYDONIAWorld will be a tool to examine the functioning in laboratory, prototype and in the operating environment of a customs office.

The accessibility factor via the internet or the intranet enables the exchange of information via the web service with the customs partner systems in the context of dematerialization through the management of electronic and scanned documents.

The SYDONIAWorld version allows the use of new technologies for biometric security, electronic signature, certificate, and mobility barcode reader, PDA, while giving a possibility to specific developments in relation to the identification of our needs. For example, the implementation of the Exemptions Management module, the installation of the One Stop Shop and the ASYPM module for performance measurement in SYDONIAWorld are assets in this momentum of modernization already begun.

Finally, the functionalities of SYDONIAWorld are adapted to the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement, the Revised Kyoto Convention and national legislation.

In addition to the technological evolutions brought by the new web platform and to facilitate exchanges between the different customs partners, SYDONIAWorld could now, in addition to the exchange of traditional files in XML format, promote the exchange of system data in a system without human intervention. In addition to its flexibility to evolve, the new system that the customs administration is putting in place, encompasses the entire trade of customs in terms of exchange and procedure of international trade.
