The data sources feeding the system are agreed with the customer according to their relevance and topicality. |
Value File
The module consists of a valuation database fed by data from previous transactions. Other data sources can also be attached to meet customer requirements. It provides Customs officers with a reference value and a means of detecting inconsistencies. |

Tariff (LEUK)
Advanced searches into customs tariffs and customs statutory instruments are possible via this module. It can be available in intranet or extranet mode. It is a powerful information and simulation tool. This module has been developed by IDEE, a GAINDE 2000 partner. |
