Introduction

The Ethiopian Customs Authority signed an agreement with UNCTAD to improve the existing ASYCUDA system VER 2.7 with
the new product called ASYCUDA ++ (A++) in September /2003.

The A++ software is designed to satisfy the growing number of the users and to improve some of the shortcomings of the old version
.The new product has several utilities among them DTI and Selectivity are the most popular.

DTI (Direct Trader Input ) in short means a mechanism to send Declaration information electronically to the Customs Server and
registering it on a customs system as a means of lodging a customs declaration.
Selectivity in short means that a method of selecting transactions that you are of more risk and interest for close examination while
allowing compliant ones to flow uninterrupted.

Six years have passed since the first ASYCUDA 2.7 pilot site was launched for live operations .It is obvious that Customs and the
trading community have been benefited from the existing system compared to the manual operations.

However, as the world technology is growing and changing every time , the old technologies lack some features .Therefore, UNCTAD
has designed a new software called A++ to meet the changing Customs requirements . This has led to changes in the correct form and
procedures.>

The aim of the completion guide is to introduce a new form that will work with the new system and direct users on how to complete
the Improved Customs Declaration.

In Addition , the completion guide also contains lists of control tables of the system such as country code , currency code, Bank and
branch code etc..

Therefore , Non- Automated stations can use this completion guide book to fill the revised customs declaration form manually.

HOW TO COMPLETE THE ECUD (Ethiopian CUstom Declaration)

The following is a brief guide for completing the Ethiopian Customs Declaration (ECuD). All goods Imported into or export�ed from
Ethiopia must be declared to Customs with exception of some goods carried as passengers personal effect items or some post�al
parcels exempted from duties by law (See Proclamation NO 60/89 Chap 3 Article 19). Details of exceptions could be ob�tained from
Customs Authority. ( See Ministry of Revenue Directives (�58S k” 14/10/92) )

All information given in the customs Declaration must be signed for by the clearing Agent and He/She is responsible for all
information declared on the Declaration.

Therefore , the Declarant should be more concerned with

a) The accuracy of the infor�mation given in the decla�ration;

b) The observance of all the obligations necessary under the declared procedure.

The form has to be filled using the ASYCUDA ++(MODBRK: Broker’s Module ) electronically and must be printed using the Local
printer . However , Declarant should fill the form manually for Non-automated offices and Bureau DTI on a pre-printed Declaration
form.(See the Annex ….)

The form must be signed before being presented to Customs.

The software contains the basic elements of the Customs Declaration (i.e. Tariff, Country code , Extended Customs Procedure Code
together with National Customs Procedure codes, Declarant Code , and Other relevant information. On top of this, Control Tables are
supported with a special Function key called “ F8” . Local Check also plays an important role to ascertain the validity of the
Declaration .
Submitting Hard copy of the declaration :
One original and ….. copies of the COMPLETED FORM together with the original attach docs must be submitted to the designated
Customs Clearance Offices . (copy document may acceptable according to the CPC declared )
