“…The frequency of the exchange of information with customs authorities and the way in which this information is gathered and exchanged can be seen as factors in improving a firm's efficiency because of their potential to reduce transaction costs (Verwaal & Donkers 2003). In general, the procedures applied in exchanging this information include the filing of a declaration for each import or export transaction.…”

This paper aims to identify formal and informal institutional factors in customs procedures and their impact on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in international trade in Kosovo based on a questionnaire carried out in 2009. The econometric findings show that one of the most important obstacles encountered by SMEs are regular appeals against customs decisions, particularly those which reflect frequent changes in over-complicated laws and regulations. However, there is a positive and significant effect of the formal customs instruments that facilitate the trade in imported goods, namely ‘customs procedures with economic impact’.

“…We consider that there is only one empirical study about the determinants of customs-related transaction costs in the literature. For the sample of firms in the Netherlands, Verwaal and Donkers (2003) find that scale of international trade activities, simplified customs procedures and information and communication technology are the principal determinants of customs-related transaction costs while firm size is not.…”

Growing world trade puts forward the importance of trade liberalization and facilitation issues. As trade liberalization efforts of both governments and international organizations have mostly been successful, the importance of bureaucratic and informal impediments to international trade has been increased. An important part of these impediments is generally composed of complicated customs procedures and documentation requirements that generate the principal part of customs-related transaction costs. In this study, we examine the role of several factors in the determination of customsrelated transaction costs, especially the waiting time to clear the cargo already in some Turkish ports. We evaluate the following determinants of customs-related transaction costs such as complexity of customs procedures, customs personnel, obtaining certificates of conformity/approval or laboratory analysis, firm size, implementation and integration of computerized systems, and country of origin. We find that these six factors exert their effects on customs-related transaction costs either through affecting customs risk analysis or through affecting the clearance time (even in the same line).

“…freight forwarders) who are able to spread the fixed costs across a wider base (e.g. Verwaal & Donkers, 2003). Another challenge in identifying and allocating costs is that intermediaries, such as freight forwarders and shipping companies, often bundled their border-related services into a wider logistics offering that includes transport and storage.…”

What Is the Cost of Customs and Borders Across the Supply Chain?…and How to Mitigate the Cost Through Better Coordination and Data Sharing

This conceptual discussion paper examines the costs of customs and borders across the supply chain. It does that by considering relevant literature and looking back at the authors’ respective contributions in the subject (of almost one and a half decades) with subsequent reflections. A key component of this paper is a cost model that seeks to describe relevant costs that can arise. That model is complemented with two case studies that explore how costs might be reduced. The first case study concerns the import of meat from Mercosur countries into the United Kingdom. The second case study concerns the shipment of flowers from Kenya into the Netherlands. A key finding is the scope for reform through improved information and data sharing and coordinated border management.
