CUS410/CUS413 Customs Procedures Research Plan & Progress Report

This document presents a comprehensive research plan and progress report focused on customs procedures, specifically examining outward processing. It outlines the procedure itself, its significance to customs operations, and an initial assessment of its effectiveness within the General Administration of Customs (GAC). The research employs both primary and secondary data collection methods, including interviews with GAC professionals to overcome potential challenges such as limited existing research. The plan includes a detailed timetable for completing the research, which includes milestones for literature review, data collection, analysis, and report writing. The progress report tracks the completion of tasks, identifies work remaining, and details the progress made in research and presentation preparation, providing a structured overview of the project's development.

RESEARCH PLAN
CUSTOMS PROCEDURE 2: Outward custom processing.
1. Clear explanation of the Procedure
The term outward processing can be defined as the exact opposite process of the
inward processing. This process allows the community goods to be processed
abroad. Along with this, when they come back into the community for putting into
free circulation that duty needs to be paid only in the valued added abroad. Without
the system of custom processing, Companies needed to pay duty on the goods as
produced in the community along with in the values abroad (Krauss et al., 2019).
2. The importance of the Procedure to the overall mission of Customs
As being discussed earlier, the process of Outward custom processing allows goods
for processing abroad. The outward processing procedure can be designed for
giving the business with the possibility of taking the advantages of benefit that
includes lower labor costs as well as specific technical expertise in other countries.
The components of the custom authorities needs to specific the period within which
the outward processing procedures needs to be discharged. Such authorization
possesses the potential to allow businesses for previously import non-agricultural
processed products that is obtained in a third country in return for the export of an
equivalent quantity of Union raw materials. In such cases it is highly crucial to
provide effective guarantee.
3. Initial view of the effectiveness of the Procedure practices in GAC
The procedure practice at General Administration of Customs (GAC) is highly
effective. Along with the above mentioned advantages, Outward custom processing
possesses the potential to enable faulty goods to be returned to the third country for
the propose of repairing along with reimport to the native nation with reduced nil duty
as well as liability.
4. Research Methodology

RESEARCH PLAN
In order to collect data for the research, both primary as well as secondary data
collection method will be implemented. For secondary data collection the sources
that will be evaluated include internet, library and reports and internal laws. When it
comes to secondary data collection method, an interview will be conducted in order
to gain first hand data. Interview of two major professionals associated with GAC will
be interviewed.
 Difficulties you anticipate and how would you overcome these difficulties
One of the major difficulties that may be faced during the research time includes lack
of sufficient research papers on the mentioned subject (Häntsch & Huchzermeier,
2016). However, in order to overcome the difficulties, primary data will be collected.
The first hand data collected through interview will be able to discard the issue
associate with lack of secondary information associated with GAC.
