TDA Enhances MyCIEDS For Improved Import-export Efficiency

KUALA LUMPUR, May 27 (Bernama) -- The Technology Depository Agency Bhd (TDA) has upgraded the Malaysian Customs Import Export Document System (MyCIEDS) to an integrated digital system.

The system, set to be rolled out nationwide, enhances the management of import and export support documents for the Royal Malaysian Customs Department (RMCD).

In a statement today, TDA, an agency under the Finance Ministry, said the MyCIEDS facilitates the RMCD’s monitoring, storage, and access of relevant documents, while enhancing customs operations to accelerate goods clearance.

The system was redeveloped to incorporate the latest technology by Edaran IT Services Sdn Bhd under the Industrial Collaboration Programme (ICP), built on the Document Management System technology and integrated with the Customs Information System.

It is expected to play a key role in the digitalisation of customs services while strengthening the efficiency of Malaysia's trade border management.

TDA chief executive officer Sharoul Jambari said MyCIEDS is expected to enhance RMCD’s operational zones nationwide and positively impact the smoothness of trade chains and the competitiveness of the national economy.

He added that ICP not only fulfils procurement obligations but also acts as a catalyst for technology transfer, local expertise development and long-term value creation for the country.

“Through this approach, we can ensure a lasting impact on the economy and the local industry ecosystem,” he said.

To date, TDA has successfully implemented 142 ICP programmes under government procurement.
