AFR (Advance Filing Rules) est une réglementation supportée par SAFE via conex™ et concerne la déclaration sécuritaire Japonaise. SAFE via conex™ permet également la gestion des déclarations sécuritaires d’Israël (CRI Cargo Report Import) et de la plupart des 28 pays européens (ICS Import Control System).
AFR via conex™, La sécurité de votre message sécuritaire
AFR Advance Filing Rules est le système de gestion de la déclaration sécuritaire électronique à l’importation de marchandises au Japon. AFR est conforme au Cadre de Normes SAFE pour le commerce international préconisé par l’Organisation Mondiale des Douanes et permet de sécuriser la circulation des marchandises qui entrent au Japon. Cette réglementation impose l’envoi électronique d’un certain nombre de données à la douane japonaise avant que la marchandise ne quitte le pays de provenance. Cet envoi permet à la douane japonaise d’effectuer une analyse de risque, d’approuver ou de refuser l’envoi de la marchandise ou le cas échéant, de demander davantage d’informations. AFR ne concerne pour l’instant que le fret maritime conteneurisé. AFR via conex™ permet de communiquer électroniquement avec l’administration Japonaise dans le respect de la norme internationale promue par l’Organisation Mondiale des Douanes « WCO Data Model » et d’autres normes internationales telles UN/CEFACT et ISO.
Quels sont les messages électroniques ?
La douane japonaise a défini trois messages distincts à envoyer.
♦ Le premier est établi par le NVOCC, (généralement basé en dehors du Japon), à partir des données du House B/L.
♦ Le second, basé sur le Master B/L est établi par le transporteur.
C’est ce même transporteur qui doit également envoyer une déclaration avec la date/heure du départ, après que le House B/L et le Master B/L aient été envoyés. Les messages électroniques de retour de la douane sont:
♦ Message de réponse
♦ Message d’enregistrement complet
♦ Message de divergences des informations
♦ Résultat d’analyse de risque
Quand effectuer la déclaration ?
Dans la plupart des cas, les déclarations doivent être envoyées aux douanes japonaises 24h avant le chargement des marchandises sur le navire. Ce délai peut varier pour les mouvements en provenance de certains ports proches du Japon (Chine, Taïwan, Corée du Sud et Russie Orientale) et en fonction du port de destination japonais.
Comment faire votre déclaration avec AFR via conex™ ?
Vous transmettez à notre plateforme de communication vos fichiers dans un format XML comportant toutes les données requises.
♦ AFR via conex™ assure la sécurisation des transmissions vers la douane japonaise en toute conformité avec la règlementation et les spécifications techniques en vigueur.
♦ AFR via conex™ couvre l’ensemble de messages électroniques applicables aux messages AFR entre les opérateurs et les administrations douanières japonaises.
