ASW Impact Survey Booklet

ASEAN Member States have been working since 2005 to develop the ASEAN Single Window to expedite cargo clearance and integrate the region's economies.

ASEAN Member States are establishing National Single Windows that will allow traders to provide information just one time for all government agencies involved in clearing cargo, allow agencies to process the information simultaneously, and deliver agencies' decisions through one single channel.
The ASW, as a regional mechanism, seeks to integrate these National Single Windows for the electronic exchange of cargo clearance data and for facilitating trade.

To gauge the ASW's potential impact on the trading community, the USAID ASEAN Single Window Project distributed a survey to private sector associations in ASEAN; 37 companies completed the survey.
Results of the survey are being presented to ASEAN officials to help guide ASW planning.
