Development of new technologies in Lithuanian customs

Abstract

The main results are: • The analysis carried out shows that the use of Information Technologies is the main issue. Most topical objectives - to prepare a reliable strategy of information networks and to use fully the Information Technologies in the Customs Union. • It was found out that successful information technologies would give reliable opportunities of information exchange for customs administrations, businessmen and respective administrations. • It is expected that after starting the computerised goods' declaration the amount of computerised customs declarations will grow rapidly and will exceed the number of paper customs declarations. In the nearest future the tendencies of growth should also make a great impact on the EU customs legal acts, which are going to be essentially reformed by making the computerised customs declaration to be the usual one, and the paper declaration should be accepted only in exceptional cases.
