ACCREDITED CLIENT PROGRAM APPLICATION

An ACP (Accredited Client Programme) was introduced in 2005 concurrently with introduction of Risk Management System (RMS). The objective of the program is to provide assured facilitation to importers who show good track record and compliance and also to create a climate of voluntary compliance which can be created by creating a relationship of trust between the department and its client. This program will provide recognition and incentive of facilitation to clients who maintain high level of compliance.
