On February 15, 2023, the World Customs Organization (WCO) will organize a symposium on e-commerce and customs valuation.
The objective of this symposium is to expose how the development of trade through E‑Commerce is impacting on the Customs valuation of imported goods. In this symposium, we will hear about the challenges being faced by Customs and the initiatives taken and being developed to ensure effective control and collection of duties and taxes at the border. In addition, the private sector will share its challenges in its work with Customs related to this phenomenon.
The World Customs Organization (WCO) participated in the 30th Anniversary of the International Federation of Customs Brokers Association (IFCBA), held in Singapore, on 12 and 13 December 2022. The conference brought together 45 customs brokers from Africa, the Americas and Asia-Pacific, representing countries at different levels of development, with large and small companies, whose experience in using the Harmonized System (HS) is also quite different.
