MODSEL - SELECTIVITY MANAGEMENT IN ASYCUDA++ Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 6.21 MODSYSCF   specifies   whether   Section   assignment   is   used   or   not,   as   well   as   Examiner assignment.  Configuration  is  possible  only  if  Selectivity  is  used.  Automatic  assignment  of  both Examiners  and  Sections  can  be  configured  separately  for  import  and  export  in   MODSYSCF ‘Functions’, ‘System Parameters’.  For further details see Section 9 of this Reference Document. The Sections themselves are set up in  MODSEL ‘Functions’, ‘Selectivity Management’, ‘Local Sections’. It  is  possible  to  insert  a  Tariff  range  using  the  syntax  described  in  Section  10  of  this  Reference Document. The section can also be associated with the ‘Location of goods’ which can be captured on the SAD. If  selectivity  is  used,  manual  assignment  (or  re-assignment)  of  Section  and Examiner is always possible regardless of what is specified in the configuration. It   is   impossible   to   manually   assign   an   Examiner   if   no   Section   has   been previously assigned. Sections criteria Automatic assignment of section occurs during assessment through criteria. These criteria have to be created and amended in  MODSEL at Customs Office level. As already stated, a Section can be linked to a Location of goods or Commodity Code range. These criteria are created under the selectivity parameters option, on the lower part of the screen. Figure 6.6 MODSEL : Functions: Selectivity management: Selectivity parameters: Import (+ scroll down) The system will check the Section codes corresponding to the declaration flow (import/export) and will first look at the location of goods (if any has been specified in the declaration).  If two or more Sections  correspond  to  the  location  of  goods,  the  system  will  look  at  the  Tariff  intervals  for  the selected Sections.   If there are Tariff intervals attached to the section, the system will turn to a local rule that can be defined in the selectivity parameters.      Example:    Criteria "Sections"; If TypDec = "IM" then Section is "SECT01"; Endif; This rule is like a Selectivity Rule, which means that the same variables and functions that are used for Selectivity Criteria are available. The  ‘Section’ variable contains the Section code assigned to the  declaration.  If  no  Section  has  been  assigned,  the  Section  code  will  be  left  blank  and  can  be assigned manually.
