Methodology/Technique
Multiple SEM analysis on e-customs have been carried out in order to test the proposed research models involving different business companies and governmental bodies.
Findings -

Therefore, the adoption and diffusion process is relegated to each individual member state. Thus, the analysis on how such a system will be adopted and diffused is the particular interest for all government corporations.
