Dear friends,
In the context of expert work in the Eurasian Economic Commission on the implementation of the Strategic Directions for the Development of Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025 in terms of cooperation with the World Customs Organization (WCO), I bring to your attention previously completed studies on the membership of the Eurasian Economic Union in the WCO, as well as accession to fundamental legal instruments and tools of this international organization.

Dear friends,
A joint international conference of the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) on the topic “Challenges and opportunities for cross-border e-commerce through Customs and Postal cooperation” will be held in Tokyo, Japan from June 6 to 8, 2023.
Dear friends,
The development of a single methodology (mechanism) for assessing the effectiveness of customs activities on a global scale, in our opinion, is of interest to the analytical departments of customs authorities and the scientific community. Previously, we conducted a separate study and described the approaches of the World Customs Organization (WCO), the EU, as well as our vision of such a methodology within the framework of assessing the level of development of customs regulation in the Eurasian Economic Union (see Mozer Sergei. To the issue on the methodology of assessing the level of development of customs regulation in the EAEU taking into account legal instruments of the World Customs Organization).
In the period from October 18 to 20, 2022, a conference of the World Customs Organization was held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, under the theme “Driving Customs performance with data and technology in the changing landscape of global trade”. The Technology Conference was aimed at exploring technology-supported solutions enabling Customs to operate in a fully digital environment and create an operating model that captures and exploits data from across the trade ecosystem.
Dear friends,
The study of international experience and advanced practice of customs administration is an important aspect of work when conducting scientific research, as well as when training students and postgraduates in higher educational institutions.
On June 6-8, 2023 the conference is jointly organized by the WCO and the UPU, hosted by the Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Japan Customs and Japan Post, under the theme “Challenges and opportunities for cross-border e-commerce through Customs and Postal cooperation” as a first significant and symbolic step under the new Agreement. Japan has also shared its willingness to host the event to contribute to promoting cooperation between Customs and Designated Operators (DOs) at international and national levels.

Since the information resource «Russian Customs Academy: SCIENCE» regularly publishes legal instruments and tools of the World Customs Organization (WCO), we could not ignore the updated «WCO Compendium on Gender Equality and Diversity in Customs ». The Compendium and the corresponding information was published on 03/08/2023 on the WCO website and are interesting in terms of understanding what issues the WCO is dealing with in the direction of “capacity building”, as well as within the framework of courses “English for customs officers” at universities.
Dear friends,
The Secretariat of the World Customs Organization presented to the attention of the customs authorities and the academic community a new issue of the «WCO news» magazine. The theme of the issue is «Managing knowledge», and the materials are published in English.
