- Co-ordinated Border Management
The scope of this topic will include co-ordination among the different regulatory authorities responsible for import, export, transit and other aspects of global trade within a national Customs territory, as well as co-operation between Customs administrations internationally, including co-operation in relation to risk management, trade facilitation, e-Customs/e-border management, and the like.
- Performance measurement of Customs
This topic will include the identification of methods to measure and benchmark Customs performance. It will take a holistic approach to performance measurement, including integration between the performance of regulatory agencies and other elements of supply chain performance.
- Economic security and poverty reduction
For many developing countries in particular, the revenues collected by Customs represent an important portion of their total national income. The scope of this topic will include the relative dependence of economies on Customs revenues, and potential responses to declining revenue collection caused by, for example, the global financial crisis and a general reduction in duty rates. Such responses may include the use of effective tools and other capacity building solutions.
- Integrity
Integrity is a prerequisite for effective Customs management. This topic will address ways in which integrity may be actively promoted by the WCO and its Members, in partnership with the private sector and other interested stakeholders.
