The Federal Government has announced that phase one of the National Single Window (NSW) will go live on March 27. For stakeholders, shipping lines and agents/companies’ registration will be done on the NSW platform, while sea manifests will be submitted directly by shipping lines to the NSW. Integrating the cargo manifest portal with government agencies such as the NPA, NIMASA and Customs will enable them to retrieve the sea manifests from the NSW Platform. Also, traders will be applying for e-SEN via the NSW Platform, while the NPA will retrieve and process the application via the NSW platform. Furthermore, payment collection will be facilitated via the NSW platform as ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) will transmit applicable fees/charges to the NSW for the trader to make payment.
