Description
Trade Facilitation
In a highly globalized and competitive economy, companies, governments and trade blocs seek to implement measures that simplify exports and imports,
that is, measures to facilitate foreign trade .
These measures should facilitate the attraction of foreign direct
investments, the competitiveness of all agents in the foreign trade chain and the integration of markets.
In recent years, significant progress has been made in trade facilitation: reduction of the quota system and tariffs . However, there is still a lack
of transparency in many regulations, excessively bureaucratic customs
clearance processes (slow and expensive), disproportionate documentary
requirements...
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has included trade facilitation in
multilateral trade negotiations.
Virtually all free trade agreements include chapters on foreign trade
facilitation.
The main objective of the trade facilitation programs implemented by
governments is to improve cross-border trade (time, costs, security).
Many institutions at the global and regional level have developed trade
facilitation programs: United Nations, UNCTAD, World Customs Organization, IATA,
UNECE (Economic Commission for Europe) and IMO.
