3. In the early 1980s, the various
Government agencies were processing
about 2.5 million trade declarations
each year. Traders had to submit
multiple forms and sets of documents
to the various agencies – approval
took an average of two to four days.
TradeNet made its debut in 1989 as
the world’s first nationwide electronic
data interchange (EDI) system for
clearance of trade documentation.
With TradeNet, traders could submit a
single form through a single interface
to all the relevant agencies.
Today, TradeNet handles almost 10
million permits a year and processes
90 per cent of the declarations within
10 minutes.
TradeNet 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. The fee for each TradeNet
declaration today is $2.88, down from
$6.40 when the system was first
implemented in 1989.

Tradenet cuts down unnecessary paperwork when traders submit permit applications to Government agencies. This initiative to transact with the Whole-of-Government
electronically involved more than 15 agencies and organisations. Started in 1989 and upgraded in 2007 to version 4.0. TradeNet offers an extensive suite of services. Other than
declaration of imports and exports, traders can also amend permit details, cancel unused permits and submit claims for the refund of duty and GST erroneously paid, making it a
one-stop solution for Government-related transactions. TradeNet 4.0 has enabled businesses to save almost S$4 million a year from reduced trade declaration fees.
