碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 航運管理學系 / 101 / The core functions of Customs Adminstration are tariffs revenue collection and anti-smuggling. In addition, it also has the purpose to prevent illegal shipments. These core affairs encompass the financial and economic performance of Taiwan.As the result of the development of international trade, booming economies and reduction of tariff rates, the percentage of total tax revenue in governmental financial revenue has being decreasing gradually every year. Customs Adminstration performance in revenue collection is receiving less priority. Instead,Customs Adminstration is entrusted by other governmental institutions in carrying out revenue collection tasks in areas.
Under the trend of globalization, trade security and facilitation are the same goals for every country. However, after the attacks of September 11, 2001, not only the United States is concerned but the event directly impacts toward the normal activities of international trade. Moreover, the attack has greatly affected the global logistic supply chain and the order of global economic activities. Anti-terrorism has now become an international trend and close coordination with international trading partners is sought since the USA boosts an impetus to it. How do we ensure cargoes are delivered quickly and safely during the logistic chain process? It is a common challenge in international trade. On one hand,Customs Adminstrationhave to cooperate with the national economic development, offering a smooth flow and speedy clearance environment. On the other hand, Customs have to efficiently curb deceptive trade, illegal smuggling and cross-border criminal offense; which is an alternative threat.
With the increasing amount of trade and decreasing numbers of the Customs staff, Customs works hard on trade modernization and have implemented five innovative measures to meet the future trend. These are speed, smooth flow, transparency, equality &;security.Utilizing large x-ray inspection systems to inspect cargoes has multiple benefits for maintaining supply chain, clearance security, and facilitation. Not only does it reduce cargo damage by intrusive inspection but it also can cut down the clearance cost for traders and can shorten the clearance time. Moreover, this official document appeals internationally to demonstrate Taiwan’s determination to improve domestic logistic environment and to comply with Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade (SAFE) and World Customs Organization (WCO). All of these bring Taiwan in line with the international global supply chain security trend.
Inspection technology modernization is necessary for Customs. It is the only way to expedite the clearance environment, cut down and shorten the legal trading cost and time respectively, and is beneficial to the national economic development. What are the effects of using large X-ray for cargo inspection? Whether it is necessary to broaden the scope and have virtual economic benefit? These questions need to be researched and put to the test. This thesis not only proposes the review and recommendation regarding the current clearance system but also researches and discusses the issues of modern technology for cargo clearance.The result of this research implies that Customs’ application of modern large-scale mobile X-ray machine is commonly recognized by both import and export shippers for its shortening of cargo examination and saving of loading and unloading charges. In addition, by means of the penetrating radiation of mobile X-ray machine, Customs officers can distinguish different items according to their colors of densities and the shaping of the goods, so that they are able to deter illegal smuggling activities by telling various contrabands efficiently. This smuggling prevention program is, therefore, worthy of carrying out.
