Progress reported	10 March 2023 — G/TFA/N/BLZ/4 Currently the Belize Customs and Excise Department utilizes an electronic payment system through the AYSCUDA World System purchased from UNCTAD with donor support from CDB. However, the Supplies Control Unit and other Border Agencies do not have in place such system. Belize would appreciate any assistance that would allow the accommodation of electronic payment through the ASYCUDA World system or another system for these agencies.
