Revenue promised to increase the capacity of the Automated Import System (AIS) to prevent delays during times of peak processing. Degradation in the performance of AIS during peak times have been identified. This has caused delayed responses to declarations and other messages lodged by trade.

Revenue is also working with large filers to develop tailored salutations to ensure goods traffic is not adversely impacted by peak load processing delays.

More information can be found in the Minister for Finance’s response to Parliamentary questions, on 17 February.
