In a bid to boost the Federal Government Policy on Ease of Doing Business, the Nigeria Customs Service said it is set to introduce Webb Tracker Mobile Application and a simplified standard operating procedure for the use of Scanners.
The mobile App according to the service, will allow any person that has access to the NICIS 11 to remotely validate any declaration/payment and more importantly, the status of a particular consignment or Vehicle.
In a press statement signed by the Service Public Relations Officer, Comptroller Joseph Attah, on Thursday, the service informed that with the new innovation, motorists and owners of imported goods do not have to wait longer for field operatives to confirm the validity of their documents before letting them go.
He explained that the mobile app which can be installed in mobile devices (phones, tablets e.t.c) enables the use of the vehicle identification number to upload data concerning the type, make and model of all vehicles at the point of making declaration with a view to assigning value for the payment of appropriate Customs duty.
He further said apart from removing acrimonies associated with enforcement activities on the highways, it will robustly facilitate free flow of compliant trade while checking illegal imports.
