GTS

Trade facilitation is the simplification, harmonization, standardization, and modernization of international trade procedures to reduce transaction costs and delays at borders. Customs modernization is a core component to trade facilitation, focusing specifically on upgrading customs processes and systems to enhance efficiency and compliance.

The solutions developed by Custom Connect greatly assist Customs Authorities to achieve these objectives. In addition, it makes it easier for trade partners to ensure compliance to the myriads of legislative requirements that impact international trade activities across the globe.

Trade facilitation and customs modernization offer significant benefits to both businesses and governments, leading to increased competitiveness and economic development. Customs Connect forms part of this technology driven modernization and enablement.
