ASEAN has agreed to work on simplifying the region's customs procedure and coordinating the products standards in the region to boost trade with Japan after it had a discussion with Japanese business leaders at a three-day dialogue in Kuala Lumpur.
ASEAN Deputy Secretary General, Pushpanathan Sundram said laxed regulations, the current customs procedure and gaps in product standards within ASEAN's member states remain a stumbling block in trade with Japan. "We are looking into streamlining the custom procedures, making it easier for trade," Pushpanathan said, giving a timeframe that these issues would be resolved by 2015.
The bloc is currently testing the ASEAN Single Window, a digitised system aimed at easing the filing of import and export documents and ultimately the flow of goods in trade within and beyond ASEAN.
