ASW Introduction

Monday, 19 November 2012

The World Bank estimates that every one-day delay in cargo clearance reduces import and export volumes by about one percent. In ASEAN it takes more than 20 days on average to import or export goods. This raises costs for traders, who must compete, and for consumers, who must pay the resulting higher prices. Such delays impede economic and employment growth. The ASEAN Single Window will help expedite cargo clearance and contribute to a more integrated ASEAN Economic Community.
