Why Harmonize?
Multiple Messages– Proprietary (ABI), X12, EDIFACT, XML
Multiple Systems– ABI, AES, AMS, CADEX and ACROSS (CA), SAAI
(MX), SOPHIE (FR), CHIEF (UK), etc.
Redundant Names, Definitions, Coding– Many different ways of asking for the same information

WHAT is the WCO Doing?
Transfer from G7 to WCO January 2002
Established a WCO Customs Data Model Working Group
Review of WCO Customs Data Model by WCO members
Invite all trade bodies and international organizations for comments
WCO members to initiate prototypes
Review comments received and evaluate prototypes
Prepare for other standards such as XML
Incorporate requirements for “single window” processing
Issue v2.0 by 2005 following rigid change control procedures
4
What is the U.S. Role?
Active participation in data working group activities
U.S. analysis is used as a model for other countries
Provide processing scenarios
Lead effort to extend WCO Customs Data Model to enable “single window” processing
5
How Far Along Are We?
Mapped WCO v1.0 to ABI (EI, HI, HN)– Over 400 occurrences of data elements
excluding OGA – 8 unmapped (SEB and Statement)
Mapped WCO v1.0 to Other Agency Requirements– 198 USCS/OGA elements, 32 unmapped
Crew, Services, Transportation Statistics

The WCO Data Model and ACE
The WCO/ G7 standards will be used in ACE
Data definitions and standards will be incorporated in ACE
Filers will be given the option of using WCO/G7 messages
Implementation will provide flexibility to support WCO/G7 standard, legacy system data, and future changes
eCP and Customs will ensure that evolving international standards meet the needs of ACE stakeholders
eCP and Customs will ensure compatibility for statistical and other analytical needs
Message translation mechanisms will be used to ensure a smooth transition

Benefits
Lower costs to government and trade for standards maintenance, system development, and system maintenance
International traders will have simplified interfaces to multiple Customs and government organizations
G7 finance ministers believe use will lead to economic growth
Enhance and enable more electronic processing by eliminating variations
Improved cooperation with foreign countries in data exchange and statistics collection
