The Model on Integrated Controls at Border Crossing provides more efficient information flow and sharing among various agencies at border crossings by application of modern technologies (including ICT as a centre) and streamlined process of documentation and procedures. It can help minimize interventions in the process of crossing borders by various border agencies while maintaining good controls.

The model promotes optimized use of modern equipment by different agencies and multiple use of the results of inspections. It also helps streamline and simplify formalities and procedures for crossing border with re-aligned integrated scheme for a border crossing rather than different schemes for different agencies at the same border crossing.
