Solution based on WCO standards/requirements

• WCO requirements for data to be provided
• Based on WCO standard messages
• Customs authorities have been the main
  contributors so far in the process We wanted to
  base this on their requirements/standards

Where are we now

• Draft 5 of CUSDEC for Postal usage is ready
• Covers information of current CN22/23
• Based on new G7 CUSDEC
• Based on UPU documentation style

Now lets wait and see

• No more updates at this moment from WCO
  environment
• Pilot implementations are what is needed
• Concrete implementation group is vital
• SAMPLE
• Other pilot projects
• It is too early for acceptance as standards
  within WCO and the UPU

The following stage

• Hand over draft 5 to SAMPLE
• Request the SAMPLE project team
• that this draft be considered as input into the
  project
• to evaluate the draft
• to eventually test/implement the message
• Then a Status 0 request can be put forward to the
