Electronic Transit Supervision, Technology Upgrades and Customs Operations in Jordan
Jordan Customs has developed an established electronic transit monitoring system to supervise cargo movements between the country's entry and exit points. By combining electronic cargo security, route tracking and centralized monitoring, the system enables customs authorities to maintain control over transit shipments while reducing their dependence on routine physical escorts.
Jointech began cooperating with Jordan Customs in 2017, supplying electronic cargo security technology for use in the country's customs transit monitoring operations. As the monitoring environment developed, subsequent equipment upgrades continued to incorporate Jointech products. Our team has also visited Jordan Customs to gain a closer understanding of local operating conditions and exchange technical knowledge with customs personnel.
The application demonstrates how Electronic Cargo Tracking Systems (ECTS) support customs transit supervision by connecting secured shipments with digital monitoring information. For Jointech, Jordan represents an ongoing customs technology application in which electronic cargo security must work within established national procedures, operational requirements and risk-management practices.

Jordan serves as an important transit corridor for freight moving through the Middle East. Goods traveling across its territory may enter through one border crossing and depart through another, requiring customs supervision throughout the journey. Maintaining cargo integrity over these movements is essential, but traditional control methods can place considerable demands on customs resources and transportation operators.
Physical seals, documentary checks and customs escorts have historically played an important role in transit supervision. However, escorting freight vehicles over long distances requires personnel and vehicles, while inspections at individual checkpoints provide limited visibility into what happens between those locations. For customs authorities, the challenge is to maintain effective oversight without applying the same level of physical intervention to every shipment.
Jordan's electronic transit monitoring approach addresses this challenge by combining cargo security with continuous transportation information. Authorized personnel can follow monitored movements, review route deviations and assess relevant security events through a centralized operating environment. The objective is to support secure transit while allowing customs interventions to be directed toward movements that require closer attention.

Jointech's electronic cargo security technology is used within Jordan's customs transit monitoring environment, connecting the secured condition of a shipment with information available to authorized monitoring personnel. Electronic seals contribute security-status information that can be associated with a transportation task and considered alongside the route and journey record.
The practical application extends beyond installing a seal at the point of departure. During a monitored journey, customs officers may need to assess unexpected stops, irregular movements or potential interference with secured cargo. Electronic cargo security information provides an additional basis for reviewing these circumstances within the wider tracking process, alongside the transportation data and procedures managed by Jordan Customs.
The continuing use of Jointech products in subsequent equipment upgrades is an important feature of the project. As customs monitoring requirements evolve, equipment must remain suitable for field installation, daily handling, communication and integration with established operating procedures. Jointech's involvement in these successive applications reflects experience supporting electronic cargo security within a mature customs monitoring environment rather than a one-time technology deployment.
Direct engagement with Jordan Customs has also formed part of this experience. During on-site visits, our team had opportunities to observe the operating environment, understand practical monitoring requirements and exchange information with customs personnel. These interactions connect technology development and supply with the realities of customs transit operations.
The World Customs Organization has documented Jordan's Electronic Transit Monitoring and Facilitation System (TMFS), including the procedures used to supervise freight movements from entry to exit. The national approach links physical cargo security, transportation records and route monitoring through a central customs operating environment.
When a designated transit shipment enters the monitoring process, the applicable customs formalities are completed and electronic security equipment is installed according to the authorized procedure. The shipment is associated with its transportation record and designated route, allowing the monitoring center to follow the journey after departure.
This stage establishes the connection between the secured cargo and the information used for supervision. Jointech electronic seals are applied within Jordan's customs monitoring operations, contributing to the cargo security component of the process.
As the truck moves through Jordan, customs personnel can review available tracking information from the central monitoring environment. The published national procedures describe the supervision of designated routes and the review of events such as unexpected stops, route deviations and possible interference with monitoring equipment.
When a relevant event occurs, the monitoring team can assess the information and coordinate an appropriate response under established customs procedures. This allows remote supervision to complement physical control measures, with intervention directed toward circumstances requiring additional attention.
At the customs center of exit, the transportation record and relevant monitoring information are reviewed before the applicable transit procedure is completed. The journey report provides a record of the monitored movement and any events requiring customs attention. Electronic security equipment is then removed or released under the authorized process.
The entry-to-exit workflow demonstrates how ECTS technology contributes to a continuous customs supervision task, linking cargo security at departure with monitoring information collected during transit and verification at the end of the journey.
Jordan Customs' official media footage also shows Jointech electronic seal technology in the operating environment. The video can be presented alongside the field application material to illustrate the actual customs use of the equipment.
Jordan's electronic transit monitoring approach has been documented by the World Customs Organization as an example of applying technology to customs transit security and trade facilitation. The system introduced an operating model in which designated freight movements could be supervised electronically, reducing the need to rely exclusively on physical escorts throughout the journey.
Centralized monitoring gives customs personnel access to information about transportation progress and relevant security events. Instead of treating every transit movement as requiring identical intervention, officers can consider the available information when determining whether a shipment needs further examination. Physical inspections and response teams remain part of the supervision process, but their deployment can be informed by the monitoring environment.
The approach also creates a more useful record of the transportation task. Route histories and reported events can be reviewed together with the corresponding customs information, supporting decisions at the point of exit and the examination of potential irregularities. The quality of this process depends on both the national monitoring procedures and the information provided by connected cargo security technologies.
Jordan Customs' experience demonstrates the operational value of this model. For Jointech, participation in the country's electronic cargo security application provides practical exposure to an established customs environment where reliable field technology supports centralized supervision and risk-based control.
An established customs ECTS program does not remain static. Monitoring practices, equipment requirements and operational expectations can change as customs authorities develop their systems and gain experience with electronic supervision.
In Jordan, later equipment upgrades have continued to use Jointech technology. This progression is significant because customs electronic cargo security equipment must remain compatible with the processes already used by officers, monitoring personnel and transportation operators. Changes in equipment therefore need to account for practical requirements such as installation, maintenance, communication and the information needed during a monitored journey.
Jointech's continuing project involvement, together with on-site engagement, has provided experience with these operational considerations. The Jordan application illustrates the importance of supporting customs technology over successive stages of use rather than treating implementation as a single delivery event.
The Jordan application demonstrates how electronic cargo security technology contributes to an established customs transit monitoring process. Its practical role is to connect the secured shipment with relevant information that customs personnel can use when supervising transportation between border crossings.
The combination of continued technology application, subsequent equipment upgrades and direct field engagement provides Jointech with experience in the operating requirements of a mature national ECTS environment. The wider Jordan Customs system also illustrates how electronic monitoring can support a transition from routine physical escorts toward centralized supervision and targeted intervention.
This experience is relevant to Jointech's broader focus on Electronic Cargo Tracking Systems (ECTS) and Trusted Cargo Intelligence Solutions. Reliable information about cargo movements and electronic security conditions becomes more useful when it is associated with the correct shipment, transportation record and authorized customs process.
