DP World has announced the release of a new digital customs platform, CARGOES Customs, with Electronic Citizen Solutions (eCitizen) in Nairobi, Kenya.
The implementation of this new service, via Kenya’s government services portal, will give cargo importers, exporters, and authorised customs agents access to what the global terminal operator says is “one of the most advanced systems globally for managing customs declarations.”
The introduction of the new CARGOES platform represents an alternative to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) legacy system by targeting more efficient customs clearance, revenue collections and compliance monitoring.
In addition, DP World confirmed that the new CARGOES application will be integrating with the existing trade ecosystem in Kenya which already utilises eCitizen for all services and electronic payments relating to Kenya Ports Authority activities.
