| dc.description.abstract | Customs is tasked with the role of facilitating all forms of international trade including transit trade by ensuring it provides accurate, predictable and speedy movement of goods across the border. This entails modernization and automation of processes through the adoption of several systems such as Simba System, Single Window System and ECTS. The purpose of the study was to establish the effects of automated customs systems on volume of transit trade along the Northern Corridor in Kenya. The study explored a descriptive design with the target population of the study involving customs officials, clearing agents and transporters of transit goods along the Northern Corridor in Kenya. The sample size of the study constituted 85 respondents. Primary data from respondents was collected through the use of self- administered questionnaires and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). The response rate was 70.5% which was considered adequate for the purpose of the study. The findings were presented in bar charts, tables and figures. From analysis, the findings showed that automated customs systems had significant effect on volume of transit trade along the Northern Corridor. Single window system had a significance level of 0.002 with a paired t-test of 3.211. Simba system had a significance level of 0.000 with a paired t-test of 6.897. The ECTS had a significance level of 0.002 with a paired t-test of 3.112. Therefore, based on these findings, the government should enhance capacity building for clearing agents and customs officials to be up to date with this technological advancement in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness in the transit cargo chain. | en_US |
