Replacing TradeNet for trade-related applications and TradeXchange for connecting the trade and logistics community, the NTP is designed to provide service offerings beyond the incumbent systems. Specifically, it aims to be a:
- One-stop trade information management system linked to other platforms
- Next generation platform offering a wide range of trade-related services
- Open innovation platform allowing development of insights and new services with cross-industry data
- Document hub for digitalisation at source that enables reuse of data to cut costs and streamline processes
The NTP is a World-of-Government (WOG) initiative, spearheaded by Singapore Customs, and supported by the Ministry of Finance (MOF), Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), Ministry of Transport (MOT), Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS), Economic Development Board EDB), Enterprise Singapore (ESG), Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech), Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), Maritime and Port Authority (MPA), and Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Competent Authorities, who regulate the import, export, or transhipment of specific goods, are also onboard the NTP.
