Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has told the Customs Department and the Ministry of Finance they have until December to finish their work on a new electronic system of customs clearance, known as the National Single Window
The premier wants the NSW up and running before Asean transforms into a single community at the end of the year.
Deputy government spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said Gen Prayut had told the two main agencies in charge of establishing the NSW to link the databases of seven other state agencies to the new system
The seven departments are the Department of Mineral Fuels, the Department of Primary Industries and Mines, the Department of Civil Aviation, Airports of Thailand Plc, the Department of Disease Control, the Federations of Thai Industries and the Thai Industrial Standards Institute.
