  Technologies in Customs and Post
                                   Single Window
      •   The single window is an international mechanism that:
       simplifies customs affairs and control,
       reduces time,
       prevents re-checking,
       reduces face-to-face contact between customs official and client,
       prevents corruption,
       corresponds with other organizations,
       eliminates the use of paper,
       accelerates and facilitates clearance.
      Single Window is beneficial for commercial goods. It seems not 
      useful for letter or parcel in post organization because they 
      are small and gift. But it is useful for some packages that are 
      commercial  or  need  a  special  permissiom  from  other 
      organizations.
                      Supply Chain
    
     The Universal Postal Union (UPU) uses a supply chain to ensure that mail packages arrive at their 
     destination safely and on time.
                              Controls 
                               data
                             Centralized 
                              System

                     n                 availability
    We believe  if  customs  and  post  organizations  use  one 
    system  to  clear  postal  packages,  it  is  more  useful. 
    Nowadays,  modern  technology  is  Blockchain  that  all 
    organizations and companies tend to use this technology.
            “Blockchain”
   Blockchain provides transparency and speed in the supply 
    chain. 
   Blockchain introduced  to  achieve  supply  chain  goals  by 
    reducing  the  risk  of  data  tracking  and  management 
    system. 
   Decentralized  system  called  Blockchain  has  been 
    introduced  today  to  make  the  chain  more  transparent, 
    credible and reliable. 
   Blockchain is used to record any transaction information 
    and  track  and  revolutionized  the  traditional  way  of 
    trading.
