Today’s customs and trade environment is more challenging than ever before. Global trade is growing at a rapid pace and with it, so too are the threats to government and society. In addition to its traditional role of revenue collection, customs nowadays has to perform the more complex roles of trade facilitation and border protection. This requires customs administrations to undertake rigorous reform and modernization initiatives. The World Customs Organization (WCO) Revised Kyoto Convention (RKC) is the foundation of the development and modernization of global customs procedures. It is the combination of magnitude of its scope and pragmatism in its principles that makes RKC the best practice guide for customs reform and modernization.
