THE ASEAN CUSTOMS TRANSIT SYSTEM (ACTS), which was developed with the technical and financial support of the European Union (EU), is a secure distributed online IT system designed to make the movement of goods in transit across the borders of ASEAN countries quicker and easier.
Key features include a temporary suspension of import duties and taxes, simplified and harmonized customs procedures, and reduced paperwork.
The system links all Customs offices at points of departure, border crossings, and destinations across the region to simplify and speed up Customs clearance formalities and provide detailed real-time data on goods in transit.
