The '''Automated System for Customs Data''' is a [[compute]]rized system designed by the [[United Nations Conference on Trade and Development]] (UNCTAD) to administer a country's customs. In 2004 there were more than 50 operational projects with expenditures exceeding US$7 million. It is the largest [[technical cooperation]] programme of the UNCTAD, covering over 80 countries and 4 regional projects.

Currently thereThere are three different generations of ASYCUDA in use: ASYCUDA 2.7, ASYCUDA++ and ASYCUDA World. All of themThey were built using different paradigms and solutions available at the time of conception,. ASYCUDA World beingwas the most recent and least used as of early 2009.

UNCTAD's aim was to build a computer system to assist customs authorities (or their local equivalents) all over the world to automate and control their core processes and obtain timely, accurate and valuable information to support government projections and planning.
