Design and Implementation of Importation Tracking Processing System (a Case Study of Nigeria Ports Authority, NPA, Lagos)
CHAPTER ONE
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
This work is aimed at improving the time constraint during clearance of arrived goods. Also provision for security and control are made. It is also aimed at reducing the popular problem of items being mixed up in terms of code numbering, and duty rates allocated for identical items. It is hoped that this mix up is eliminated and a proper rating will be given to items as declared in the harmonized tariff text.

LITERATURE REVIEW
INTRODUCTION
This chapter gives an insight into various studies conducted by outstanding researchers, as well as explained terminologies with regards to the influence of management on academic performance of secondary school students in Port Harcourt Local Government area in Rivers State, Nigeria. The chapter also gives a resume of the history and present status of the problem delineated by a concise review of previous studies into closely related problems.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Boris Beizer focuses software testing techniques on what the individual programmer can and should do to create reliable software units. This book is written for the programmer from the programmers point of view. Heather and viol have their major objectives to demonstrate that formal design methods need not to be counting, but can be mustered by programmers and designers and that combined with a prototyping environment such methods have much to contribute to the task facing systems and software engineers C. R. Mcconidel states international trade as a comparative advantage where by nations specialize in and increase their resources productivity, thereby realizing a larger total output Via Export/import.
T.E Scrulton sees the forwarding agents as a middle man of extreme responsibility as regards to delivery and insurance of goods to clearance. Hence, and individual importing goods may not need to worry much about the detail of operations.
Boethlis Berger .F. said that if the collection of the revenue accrued from imports and exports computerized data based system is used, the monitoring of revenue will be made easy. The customs and excuse notice has the mode for basic computations as is localized by nations or regions depending on current government policies and regulations. One could also add that if a central office which is computerized is opened for all registered clearing and forwarding agents, problems related tracking to importation and exportation which are perpetrated by quacks and ill equipped companies who have polluted the system roil be cautioned or cut down because all customers will have information on the registered companies.
CHAPTER THREE
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM
Cargo operations is arranged under two main sections which are the import and export group to the transport of goods is part of an interrogated system of distribution generated by the placing of aim order and involving the physical movement of goods from them point of sale.
Under the import, the important registers with any supping company of its choice. The conscience being received from the carried and arrival via manifests and bill of exchange. The choice of arnivats of the supplement will be sent to the resigned and other person whom the carried a lot agreed to notify assist evidence of the shipment record. At caught the choice of customs agent. This is derevalgsing subroutine to them all relevant development relating to those arriving accounts search clean report of research consist packing list is the hence container. With the brute assists fist aforementioned document.
CHAPTER FOUR
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
IMPLEMENTATION
The new system design will be put into actual operation by the installation of the program into the system. This will show or prove the ability or mobility of the system to work. The new system should take a parallel approach to the old system for some time before the final implementation.
CHAPTER FIVE
CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATION AND FINDINGS
CONCLUSION
In summary, this project is aimed at reducing the problem of items being mixed up in terms of code numbering and duty rate allocated for identical items. It is hoped that this mix-up is eliminated and a proper rating will be given to items as declared in the harmonized tariff test.
Finally, it is also hoped that further work could be made on this project towards making some more areas mentioned a lot more flexible.
RECOMMENDATION
In view of the precision needed for the processing of information and the operation of the system, the following recommendation are made;
- Lecturers and educational material should be provided to the user of the system and they should abide strictly by the instructions as stated in the documentation for the system.
- The designed system should be maintained if they are fund not to be meeting their expectation and requirement.
- Unauthorized persons should be kept away from the system and its operations.
- As time goes on, they should replace some of their outdated equipment with current ones.
- The organization should be sending their staff for service training or seminar in order to acquire more skills and experience.
Findings
The import system is quite complicated. Importing of goods is a process in which certain steps are followed for checks and permissions in order to progress towards the final destination. During this process, multiple officials carry out different functions. Government authorities act according to laws and regulations in certifying different parts of the process and ensuring that the system operates appropriately. There are also technicians who examine the content and quality of the imports, which is essential to achieve effective control. This study’s analysis of the import process in Nigeria led to the following findings: 1. Clearance of customs can be done prior to the arrival of imported goods, and ASYCUDA provides early warning on high-risk items. 2. The first stage, arrival of goods, is the most critical stage in ensuring monitoring and control. A bill of lading, certificate of origin and invoice reveal the nature of imports to a customs broker and thus present further opportunities to enforce full disclosure of the nature of goods. A significant part of monitoring and control can be achieved because importers are obligated by law to disclose the full nature of the goods they intend to import into Nigeria. 3.
