Electronic signature will be used while approving customs declaration in Azerbaijan, the Information Technology Center reported on December 9.
Technical details on the use of e-signatures in the process of certification of electronic declarations were discussed by authorized representatives of the ITC and the State Customs Committee.
They discussed the issue of identifying citizens with the identification numbers through the portal of Electronic Government (e-gov.az) and allowance to fill in e-declaration and approve them with e-signature, which in turn will contribute to the transparency of customs declaration.
Currently, the technical details of accreditation of the Certification Services Center of the SCC are being discussed.
The country has dramatically facilitated custom procedures for individuals from this October, which allowed anyone to bring goods for personal use worth up to $10,000 without paying custom duties.
Under the decree, checkpoints will be rid of congestion, taking into account that Azerbaijan has turned into a center of international activity, hosting a great number of forums, competitions and other events around the year.
The traditional method of declaration of goods involves the use of hard copy, which does not ensure efficiency.
Today, Azerbaijan is developing e-services to ensure both transparency and convenience of a number of services.
The e-signature is available across the entire network of Azerbaijani postal operator Azerpost as well as in ASAN Service centers. With help of e-signature, population can use the e-government portal that connects utilities and communications companies, operators of fixed and mobile communication.
The e-government portal is a key tool for supporting work with citizens and enterprises in the public and private sectors. It aims to reduce the number of documents requested from citizens, as different bodies interact with each other electronically.
Launched in 2013, currently, the portal offers about 400 e-services through 45 government agencies. Over one million citizens are active users of e-services of the state agencies. The portal also allows for the provision of e-services to citizens of foreign countries.
