Single Electronic Window service aims to transfer 75 types of licenses, permits, and certificates to electronic form by including 22 ministries and agencies of the state participating in foreign trade in the system, and providing government services to foreign traders in electronic form. In this context, the "Regional Project for Improving Border Services" and the additional financing project implemented with the Asian Development Bank’s concessional loan have included a component “Introducing Electronic Single Window Services for Foreign Trade” and are working to finance and implement the Electronic Single Window introduction with this loan. The Electronic Single Window System Introduction Working Group was established on 10 August 2023, and the terms of reference were approved, and relevant conclusions and recommendations were obtained from the line ministries in accordance with the law. In addition, a tender evaluation committee was established to select an international consulting team to supply the system, and a proposal was submitted to the Asian Development Bank to organize the procurement process. The Asian Development Bank project implementation period ended on 12 December 2024 and was extended to continue until 30 June 2027. The project implementation was delayed for a certain period due to the dissolution of the National Port Revitalization Committee, the project implementing agency, and its transfer to the Ministry of Finance. In addition, a certain period of time is required for the successive stages of bidding, evaluation, and contract award in accordance with the Asian Development Bank procurement procedures. For these reasons, there is an urgent need to extend the deadline for the implementation of the Electronic Single Window, an obligation under the World Trade Organization's Trade Facilitation Agreement.
