MODSEL - SELECTIVITY MANAGEMENT IN ASYCUDA++ Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 6.7 There is an option for automatic re-routing of the 'Yellow Lane' declaration to the 'Blue Lane' after a predetermined number of days. Green Lane All declarations other than those selected to the Red, Yellow or Blue lanes. Green   Lane   contains   an   option   to   'delay'   the   automatic   assessment   of   declarations   to   allow Customs time to 'manually' examine details of these declarations, with the option to re-route to Red, Yellow or Blue Lane if a higher level of check is thought to be necessary for those goods. Expected Rate (%) Setting  an  expected  rate  against  each  selectivity  lane  allows  regulation  of  declaration  processing flows  according  to  local  Customs  control  policies.  By  saying  that  they  ‘expect’  certain  rates  of selection  Customs  beliefs  on  overall  risk  can  be  matched  to  their  capacity  to  carry  out  physical examinations and documentary checks. This helps in peak periods, or with staff shortages, where otherwise Customs resources would not be  able  to  cope  with  large  numbers  of  declarations  without  long  delays.  Setting  expected  rates against  each  Lane  means  that  in  order  of  precedence,  (Red,  Yellow,  Blue,  Green),  the  system attempts to ensure minimum selection levels to the most important rate first, and when the rate of selection for that specific colour is met, it moves the selection rate down to the next level. Selected  levels  can  exceed  the  expected  rate,  depending  on  criteria  matches and random selection settings. Minimum Random Rate Declaration  selection  is  either  by  matching  against  declaration  data  to  specific    'Criteria',  or  by random  selection  by  the  System.  Customs  control  policies  can  make  effective  use  of  random selection as a means of checking transactions that may not otherwise come to Customs attention. Maximum Hits with no Selection This  option  allows  the  maximum  number  of  criteria  that  a  particular  Declaration  may  hit  without selection  to  Red,  Yellow  or  Blue  lanes.  If  the  declaration  hits  one  selection  criteria  it  may  not  be selected  when,  for  example,  the  Red  Lane  criteria  is  specified  to  select  50%  of  declarations meeting   that   criteria   requirements,   and   from   100   declarations   there   have   already   been   50 selections made. If the maximum hits with no selection is set to two criteria and the declaration hits a second criteria it must be selected to the lane specified in the second criteria. This is to prevent a declaration not being selected by any criteria hit and going to Green Lane even though it may have a number of risk factors. The number of hits without selection can be set at a different number for each selection lane. Order of Precedence of Selections The  ‘machinery’  behind  the  selectivity  controls  means  that  selections  are  made  in  the  following way: - 1. First,  selection  to  Red,  Yellow  or  Blue  Lane  where  the  transaction  matches  a  criteria,  or number of criteria, depending on the setting of the “number of hits” control, then……. 2. If  not  selected  at  step  1,  the  actual  rate  of  random  selection  is  compared  to  the  minimum random  rate,  and  if  below  that  minimum  rate,  random  selections  are  made  to  ‘top  up’  the percentage selected in the order ‘Red, Yellow, Blue’, then, if not selected for Random……
