Trade and Transport Methodology

There are many working interpretations of “facilitation” ranging from the relatively narrow but very valuable pursuit of better Customs regulation and practice to a much wider and more comprehensive effort to improve the whole interlocking system of regulation, trade and official practice, resource management and infrastructural development. The Methodology presented here concentrates on the basic procedures at the heart of international trade activity, focused, in turn, on the generation, exchange, authentication and communication of the various items of information that direct the movement of goods and their means of transport, and satisfy regulatory and financial requirements.
