SITPRO is currently reviewing its suite of aligned international trade paper documents with a view to relaunching the range in 2009. Since the inception of the aligned series based on the United Nations Layout Key (UNLK) SITPRO has adapted and amended the series to meet the changing demands of the international trade community. The last major relaunch of the documents was in 1992 when SITPRO published the compendium known as TOPFORM2. Since then, the world has moved on. The needs of the international trading community have changed and so has the technology available. With this in mind SITPRO is now embarking on work aimed at producing the next generation of SITPRO documents and we need your help.
We want to know which documents are still useful to you, which need to be updated and whether any new documents need to be created. We are also taking this opportunity to look at the ways in which SITPRO documents are supplied. If you use the forms, tell us what you like and don’t like. If you don’t use them, let us know why. If you have any interest the way international trade documents are designed and used in the coming years, this is your chance to have your say. Visit www.sitpro.org.uk/questionnaires/documents.html by 31 October 2008 to take part.
