– Decision on when to fully implement the mandatory Automated Export Declaration System (e2m AEDS) nationwide

– Define implementation timetable for the Raw Materials Liquidation System (RMLS)

– Final decision on what to use – Global Positioning System (GPS) or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as preferred cargo-tracking technology

PEZA

– Final implementation timetable for the Automated Export Documentation System (PEZA AEDS)

– Decision to proceed with wider implementation of automated Ecozone Logistics Service Enterprise (ELSE) system

ATI, ICTSI and MNHPI
