“Studies on Harmonization of Customs Law and Contributions of the Academy for updating and improving the WCO Instruments”.
4-6 September 2013; Brussels, Belgium.
INTRODUCTION
Since 2005, the International Customs Law Academy (ICLA) sums and meets annually to legalexperts in customs that come from different countries, languages and professional fields (practitioners, lawyers, tax consultants, business advisors, judges, customs offi-cials, teachers, civil and public servers working on customs issues), but all of them have published work and they are teachers at universities on the subject in their own countries and abroad. To date with the support of IIFA eight meetings have been successfully per-formed, all in different cities from countries in America and Europe that have contributed to the promotion of interest in the study of this important area of law, which has achieved the permanence and maturity in organization of the meeting and the usefulness of the work presented.
