• UNIFIED CUSTOMS CODE

As all member states are to adopt and implement the UCC in a localized setup, the challenges and their impact are tremendous. In order to support administrations in their journey, Latona has developed a Customs Service Reference Model. In a word, this is a business-driven, functional framework that classifies Service Components with respect to how they support business and performance objectives. By adopting our framework, a member state acquires a set of Blueprints that can be used for direct implementation in their IT Systems and/or Service Specification documents. Furthermore, the framework draws the transformation path of the customs administration integration with the existing systems and processes.

More importantly, by adopting the framework, you will:

  • Reduce costs for implementation and maintenance of the systems;
  • Cut down time for implementation and maintenance of the systems;
  • Lower the amount of IT development human resources;
  • At the same time, reduce the complexity;
  • Improve the documentation through consistency approach;
  • Gain know-how and leave minimum error possibility;
  • Reduce Risk.

As a matter of fact, the design and the description of the services are based on the EU Customs Data Model and EU Customs Business Processes. In addition, they are also linked to the WCO data model.

With respect to the above, Latona possesses the following set of Solutions Building Blocks:

  • Latona Risk Analysis & Management System;
  • Excise Service Reference Model (EMCS);
  • Automated Export Reference Model (AES);
  • Latona CCN Solution and CCN 2 Simulation tool;
