Two thirds of Belarusian export operations are declared electronically, Chairman of the State Customs Committee of Belarus Alexander Shpilevsky said at an international conference, Customs and Business: International and Regional Cooperation Aspects, in Moscow on 22 October, it was learnt.

Alexander Shpilevsky noted that increasing use of e-declaration of goods shows a growing interest of economic agents in the new technology. A total 1.5% of foreign economic operators used e-declaration in March 2009.

If an economic entity has no status “Conscientious Participant of the Foreign Economic Activity” it does not mean it has no access to the e-declaration system, said Alexander Shpilevsky. Full computerization of customs procedures is the long-term objective of the e-declaration development program, Alexander Shpilevsky said.
