1.0            INTRODUCTION

 

FREE ZONE-EDI system will enable the Free Zone Authority (FZA) to process Free Zone Declaration and communicate with exporters, importers, port operators and other relevant authorities via Dagang*Net. The main functions of these systems are to expedite the processing of all Free Zone documents submitted by declarants. The implementation of EDI at FZA will help to streamline the business process in line with FZA’s management Information Systems.

 

With effect from 1 January 2003, the form and data element for ZB1, ZB2 and ZB3 has been integrated to become only a single form that called ZB1. No changes will occur for electronic declaration as it will cater separately for each transaction.

 

This documents will outline the standard operating procedure to be adopted by all relevant parties when FZA-EDI system is implemented.

 
 

                                                                                                                                                                                          

2.0            OBJECTIVE

 

The objective of the FZA-EDI system are:

 

  • To improve the response and clearance time of cargo.

  • To enable the Authority and Port Users to have an accurate update and monitoring of goods movement in the Port Area.

  • To provide an accurate and timely submission of the forms by the respective agents.

  • To standardize trade documents and practices.

  • To solve the problems of manual errors, eliminate excessive paper work, reduce delay in transit, reduce manpower costs etc.

  • To have a direct link with the Trading Partners through the Dagang* Net network.

 
 

 

3.0            ZB PROCESS FLOW

                       

The following are the process flow for ZB Document:

 

3.1        ZB Declaration – Process Flow  (Original)

 

      

 

 

3.2        ZB Declaration – Process Flow – Cancellation/Amendment

 

  

 

3.3        ZB4 Declaration – Process Flow 

 

 

3.4        ZB4 Declaration – Process Flow (Cancellation)

 

 

 

                     

 
 

 

4.0            AGENT REGISTRATION

 

All declarants/Agents must register with the Free Zone Authority, including those who have already registered with Customs as SMK Dagang Net users. The following are the registration procedures:-

  • Declarant/Agent must fill-up the registration form as attached in appendix III.

  • The form can be obtained from Rank Alpha Technologies or Kedai EDI during the installation of ZB front-end software or during registration as Kedai users.

  • The form must be submitted to FZA for registration and issuance of user’s code.

  • Declarant/Agent who have registered with the Customs shall use the Customs agent code to submit ZB declarations.

  • The transaction type is very important because the officer will always check the consignee and consignor of ZB1 (Export) against ZB1 (Import) . If no indication of Resale of Cargo provided, the declaration will be rejected because the officer will deem that the party’s information is incorrect.

6.4.2        Re-export of Empty Container

  • For container coming in as Laden (FCL). After unstuffing in terminal, the empty container may be exported out. In this case a ZB1 (Export) declarations has to be made.

  • If the cargo to be declared in ZB1 (Export) have gone through value added/re-packaging activities, declarant must indicate value added in transaction type “VA – Value Added”. The ZB4 must be submitted to FZA as supporting document.

  • This is important because the system will compare the ZB1 (Import) and ZB1 (Export) quantity and package type and will automatically reject the declaration if there are inconsistencies in those fields unless value added has taken place.

  • The FZA officer will then manually check the correctness of the quantity and package type declared against the ZB4.

6.4.5        Return Cargo

  • For return cargo to be re-exported, the declarant/agent shall declare a ZB1 (Import)  and a ZB1 (Export).
