Definitions

• TIS Trade Information Systems
• the TISymbol is a unique integration of a PDF417 2D bar code (so that paper documentation is machine readable) together with a digital signature (to ensure that authenticity of issuer may be identified and to guarantee that information has not been modified).
• the TISymbol is used as a digitally signed and certified authori;zation for the exporter to ship its goods and is described in section 2.2; finally the data elements that are present in each of the databases is described and, more specifically, the data that makes up the TISymbol.
• the importer application requests authorization for a transaction by submitting transaction details on-line to the VA.
• the process is as follows:
• the validation authority makes use of the TIServer and the RAS to authorize transactions, issue an instruction to a Validation Body and issue a TISymbol.
• the authorization control flow with relevant states is depicted in the section below.
• the exporter application is straightforward providing the capability to:
• the TIS/FA is the application used by the client government. With the TIS/FA users will have the following capabilities:
• the customs officers use the point of entry application. It allows the POE to:
• the authorization chart is depicted in Figure 2 in the attached drawings document.
• the RTA is the trigger for the process. Note that in some cases it will be possible for the exporter to also trigger the process by sending an RTA.
• the RTA is sent to the Validation Authority. Experts at the VA will be presented with incoming RTA and the result of the Risk Analysis System recommending action of some sort. If the RAS indicates error levels are acceptable, then the status of the transaction becomes 'OK' and the TISymbol is sent to the Exporter. The Exporter shall have the opportunity to refuse the transaction if there are errors.
• the VA sends an instruction to the relevant Validation Body.
• the status of the transaction becomes VB_WAIT.
• the procedure is complete and the transaction cancelled.
• the status is set to NO. Otherwise the status is set to OK and the TISymbol is issued.
• WAIT_VB The RAS indicates an unacceptable level of risk.
• the VA instructs the VB to investigate further. Status is waiting for VB report.
• the VB report indicates there is too high risk or some other irregularity.
• the RTA is forwarded to the FA for final decision.
• TRANSACTION which hold the details for a particular transaction
• TRANSACTION_PM which holds details of the packages and their marks.
• the TRANSACTION table is detailed in the figure below with its data elements and type.
