The Customs and Excise Department (the Department) wishes to inform you of our impending upgrade of the ASYCUDA World system. The launching of this upgrade is scheduled for 12th July, 2021. With the upgrade, the Department will widen the functionality of the system while enhancing existing services to the trading community. These enhancements are anticipated to benefit both traders and the Department in several areas including quicker clearance times of goods.

To effect this upgrade some policy and manifest procedure changes will be introduced. These changes will affect cargo operators including Ship Agents, Airline Agents, Courier Companies and Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs). For details of these policy and manifest procedure changes please visit the Department's website at  https://customs.gov.lc and navigate to the 'Notices' section.
