NCTS
The New Computerized Transit System (NCTS) uses advanced technologies and electronic data processing. It is a modern tool for transit procedure through exchange of electronic messages between economic operators and customs offices, as well as only between customs offices. It is a tool for management and control of transit operations, enabling modern and efficient management of these operations. The Republic of Macedonia is a member of the Convention on a Common Transit Procedure, hence transit procedures are conducted only with a single electronic transit declaration within the member states of the Convention.
CDEPS
The Customs Administration is developing a new Customs Declarations and Excise Documents Processing System (CDEPS), which will ensure uninterrupted flow of electronic information among all participants in the customs and excise procedures by interconnecting the external, national and common EU domain and the domain of other state agencies. The CDEPS can connect and communicate with the companies in two ways: directly through web portal or via "system to system" communication by using web services. The first version of the required technical specifications for the development of systems that will directly communicate "system to system" with the CDEPS has already been published.
PEC
The Portal for electronic communication (PEC) is on-line system for electronic exchange of documents with the Customs Administration of the Republic of Macedonia. The system provides for external users to submit different types of requests to the Customs Administration in electronic form and to monitor the status of their requests in real time. This type of electronic exchange of documents improves the efficiency of both Customs and the business community in the Republic of Macedonia, thus saving time and money.
ITE
Integrated Tariff Environment (ITE) is a business concept grouping several computer systems for information exchange between the European Commission and EU Member States.

ITE ensures full compatibility and interoperability between the IT systems of the Customs Administration and the relevant IT systems of the EU Customs, as well as introduction of business processes compatible with the ITE of the EU.
