Round Table

The World Customs Organization brings together Customs administrations from across the globe to facilitate trade, ensure effective revenue collection, and protect societies against illicit activities. Today, with the WCO community managing over 98% of world trade, Customs stands at a crossroad: the legacy of its founders now meets the unprecedented complexity of global commerce and technology, with Customs enduring commitment to security and facilitation as it remains more relevant than ever in a fast-evolving world.

This session will explore how Customs and key Stakeholders can deliver on this commitment by embracing agility and innovation. Discussions will focus on how modern standards, data-driven cooperation, and cutting-edge solutions support not only the facilitation of trade, but also the integrity and safety of global supply chains.

This roundtable aims to set the stage for a dynamic conference, highlighting the value and impact of Customs in advancing both economic growth and the protection of societies. The session will provide inspiration and direction for agencies seeking to strengthen their role in a world where trade and security are increasingly intertwined.
