Leveraging digitalization in Customs for inclusive trade
As Customs administrations play a pivotal role in international trade, exploring digitalization, such as Single Window systems, is crucial for inclusive trade practices benefiting MSMEs. By embracing digital technologies and promoting cooperation among stakeholders, Customs can create a more equitable trading environment, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and accessibility, ensuring trade benefits reach all stakeholders. This panel will examine how digitalization and Single Window systems can promote inclusive trade from a Customs perspective. Focusing on MSMEs, it will highlight how these systems streamline processes, facilitate faster clearance times, reduce costs, and improve compliance, thus enabling MSMEs to compete globally and foster economic growth. The session will also discuss recent WCO initiatives supporting MSMEs in joining the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programme, which enhances supply chain security and facilitates trade through simplified Customs procedures. This platform aims to exchange insights and explore collaborative solutions for leveraging digitalization to empower MSMEs in global trade. Detay Eki
