KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 20): Dagang NeXchange Berhad (DNeX), the service provider for the Royal Malaysian Customs Department’s National Single Window for trade facilitation, has secured a two year extension to its contract on managing the service from the Malaysian government.

The two-year extension, to start from Sept 25 this year and end on Sept 24, 2018, was secured via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dagang Net Technologies Sdn Bhd.

Under the contract extension, the service charge to be imposed by DNex will remain unchanged at 75 sen per kilobyte for government agencies, 80 sen per kilobyte for the private sector, and RM5 per approved permit and certificate of origin application, DNex said in a statement today.

“We offer our deepest appreciation to the Government of Malaysia, namely the Ministry of Finance and the Royal Malaysian Customs Department for their continued confidence in us,” said Executive Deputy Chairman of DNeX Datuk Samsul Husin.
 
He noted that DNeX has been the operator of the NSW for Trade Facilitation since its launch in 2009 and backed by more than 27 years of experience.
 
“We have the edge to deliver and fulfill our role as a key facilitator in Malaysia's trading economy,” he said.
 
Group Managing Director of DNeX, En Zainal Abidin Jalil, said DNeX is excited and committed to continue undertaking the NSW for Trade Facilitation, which helps expedite the cargo clearance process, as well as reduce cost and time of doing business.
 
“This will definitely contribute positively to Malaysia’s trade efficiency and global competitiveness, and ultimately boost the country’s ranking as a trading nation,” Zainal added.
