According to Miroslav Zolotarev, business community can participate in realization of the project on its own or in cooperation with the state structures. In order to involve the companies it is possible to apply both principle of compulsory electronic declaration of goods and voluntary business involvement which will favour creation of preference for the companies in the field of guarantee of terms for customs clearance of cargo be the customs authorities, as well as of terms for implementation of boundary formalities.

The platform of 'CBC' can become one of such systems under the condition that its consumers will be provided with the added value and benefits."
In addition the Federal Customs Service should study real mechanisms for guarantee of terms of foreign trade procedures for the companies providing electronic data on the portal “Sea port” together with paper documents. In this case business structures should be provided with the opportunity to work on the portal through personal account on the non-commercial basis, with the purpose of the growth of a number of the project participants as well as for the project development.
The state authorities should consider acceptance of EDIFACT standards for data exchange in case of the national “single points of contact” international integration or designing of their own standards of data exchange in case of national security and state secret priority.”
The questions on implementation of a “single point of contact” provoked a great interest of the BSEC partners, as these are real practical steps in the direction to simplification of trading procedures and business conduct.
