The ASYCUDA system is developed by UNCTAD and made available to member countries to assist their Customs Administrations in improving revenue collection, uniform application of legislation and procedures, control of illicit traffic and production of timely and reliable statistics.

UNCTAD is now developing a new ASYCUDA product - ASYCUDAWorld. The development of the ASYCUDAWorld system is the latest result of a process that began when UNCTAD identified the first signs of the commercial potential of the World Wide Web. The ASYCUDA Programme has worked on Internet - related technologies and reliable state-of-the-art IT tools to design the ASYCUDAWorld system.

This presentation aims at providing a better understanding of the ASYCUDA products and their functional and technical capabilities, their implementation (experience, lessons learned) as well as project management and organization, with a particular focus on ASYCUDAWorld, the UNCTAD solution for e-Customs.
