WCO Compliance & Enforcement Programmes (17-19 June 2015, 3 days)
Customs compliance and enforcement is concerned with the deployment of effective control measures aimed at improving traders’ compliance levels, contributing to economic prosperity, protecting of society from the harm posed by illicit trade and fighting trans-national organized crime, all based on the principles of risk management. In discharging this mandate, Customs compliance and enforcement services are involved in a wide range of activities relating to information and intelligence exchange, combating commercial fraud, counterfeiting, tackling the smuggling of highly taxed goods (especially cigarettes and alcohol), combatting trafficking of prohibited or restricted commodities (such as drugs, looted cultural goods, stolen motor vehicles, arms, nuclear materials, toxic waste, endangered fauna and flora), money laundering, electronic crime. A part from traditional border controls, modern and effective compliance and enforcement activities also include post clearance audits (PCA).
In order to assist its Members improve the effectiveness of their enforcement efforts and achieve a balance between control and facilitation, the WCO has developed a comprehensive technical assistance and training programme. In addition, it has established Regional Intelligence Liaison Offices (RILOs) that are supported by a global database, the Customs Enforcement Network (CEN), to facilitate the exchange and use of information.
The WCO’s Compliance and Enforcement programme therefore aims to promote effective control practices and encourage co-operation among its Members and with its various competent partners and stakeholders.
