The Nepali Dep. of Customs (DoC) has initiated Second Phase of the Customs Reform and Development Program (2006~2009) with a view to cope the complexities and challenges before it. The modes of trade and transaction is so mechanized that the traditional style of customs administration is almost impossible to operate by facilitating trade with security. This situation has necessitated DoC to develop its human resource and at the same time to introduce new technologies in relation to customs information technology and automation.
Seeking for a resolution and guidelines to develop a proper system, CUPIA conducted Feasibility study on Nepal customs modernization in 2007. The study provided in depth analysis on the Political and Technical environment of Nepal customs and suggested Technical Plan, Application Architecture and Technical Architecture of the system to be built.
