ACCRA: Ghana Revenue Authority has marked the 63rd International Customs Day celebration in Accra with the focus on how customs administrations could promote partnerships with stakeholders to improve and expedite border processing.
This year’s International Customs Day, which fell on Monday, January 26, heralds the launch of the World Customs Organisation Year of Coordinated Border Management (CBM) in which Customs administrations are encouraged to actively promote the partnerships they have built to improve and expedite border processing.
Under the slogan “Coordinated Border Management – An inclusive approach for connecting stakeholders,” the international Customs community is signalling its aspiration to further enhance its collaboration, cooperation and working relationships with its many partners.
The theme entails the coordination of practices that customs have implemented within their administrations, with other customs authorities, and with government agencies also operating at borders, as well as with economic operators involved in cross-border trade.
