Overview

Customs administrations around the world face new challenges: an increasing volume of international trade, a revolution in new technologies, and fundamental changes in business models. The benefits of a well-performing customs administration are clear, as is the need to develop efficient, effective, fair, and modern customs administrations. This book analyzes the many changes and challenges customs administrations face and proposes ways to address these. It outlines considerations policymakers must take into account as they develop their own road map for modernization. By offering a cross-sectional view of the main aspects of customs administration, the book guides policy makers and customs officials as they evaluate the current state of their customs system with a view to developing, reinforcing, or relaunching their own road map for customs modernization.

This book is an excellent study of customs' complex role and increasing responsibilities in the modern trade environment. Based on the IMF's extensive field experience, the book details how customs can effectively fulfill its responsibilities of revenue collection, promotion of economic competitiveness, and protection of safety and security, and the importance of the WTO Agreements in that regard. It will be an important resource for all interested in the intersection between trade policy and customs administration. -Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweale-Director-General of the World Trade Organization Efficient customs are essential for the economies of Central Africa. It is a rare opportunity to have such a comprehensive book that describes and analyzes the main challenges and missions of a modern customs administration.
