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.
Bangladesh has long been striving towards simplifying its regulatory procedures to ensure better integration into the global trading system. It is in this context that the Bangladesh Customs plays a crucial role in implementing pragmatic risk management procedures to maintain supply–chain security. Automation of customs procedures and enforcing the three–step selectivity process are part of the existing risk management framework. Such regulatory controls are, then, aimed at maximising trade facilitation through effective and efficient functioning of the compliance management framework which comprises of four critical elements: legislative base, client service, compliance assessment, and enforcement/recognition.
Customs in the twenty–first century has a role that expands far beyond the traditional role of revenue collection, and includes trade facilitation and border protection. It is now required to guard against both importation and exportation of dangerous and counterfeit products which pose serious threat not only to the economy, but also to the society in general. With its firmly built legislative base coupled with strategically developed implementation mechanism, the Australian Customs Services (ACS) plays a crucial role in ensuring border protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) laws. Conformity with the provisions and standards set out by the apex trade bodies in the world is a major strength of the Australian Customs in its ongoing battle against infringement of IPR laws. The Australian Customs maintains a close relationship with other border agencies and the business community with a view to interdicting and disrupting the illicit trade in goods that infringe IPR.
