1. A non-transitory computer readable medium including program code for providing a message-based interface for exchanging information regarding a declaration to a customs authority for exporting goods according to legal requirements, the medium comprising:

  • program code for receiving via a message-based interface derived from a common business object model, where the common business object model includes business objects having relationships that enable derivation of message-based interfaces and message packages, the message-based interface exposing at least one service as defined in a service registry and from a heterogeneous application executing in an environment of computer systems providing message-based services, a first message for a request for processing an export declaration that includes a first message package derived from the common business object model and hierarchically organized in memory as;

    an export declaration processing request message entity; and

    an export declaration package, where the export declaration package includes an export declaration entity, a custom authorization package, and a customs office package, where the export declaration entity includes an export message subtype code, an export message identification (ID), a customs authority country code, and a major version customs authority ID, where the custom authorization package includes at least one customs authorization entity, each customs authorization entity including a customer authorization type code and a customs authorization ID, and where the customs office package includes at least one customs office entity;

    program code for processing the first message according to the hierarchical organization of the first message package, where processing the first message includes unpacking the first message package based on the common business object model; and

    program code for sending a second message to the heterogeneous application responsive to the first message, where the second message includes a second message package derived from the common business object model to provide consistent semantics with the first message package.
