I had a privilege of presenting at the Regional Workshop on Advancing Paperless Trade Facilitation for Sustainable Development organized by United Nations ESCAP. During my presentation, I emphasized the transformative power of joint efforts in implementing international data models and standards to streamline and facilitate trade for the CAREC Program (Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation) countries. One of the highlights was Asian Development Bank (ADB)’s pioneering pilot initiative, the CAREC Advanced Transit System and Information Common Exchange (CATS/ICE). This initiative is a game-changer, featuring streamlined and harmonized transit documentation, a single electronic messaging system, and a risk-based and affordable guarantee mechanism that rewards compliant traders. CATS/ICE stands out not only for its critical technical advantages over existing transit systems but also for enabling CAREC countries to seamlessly connect with EU markets and efficiently channel more cargo through the CAREC Corridor 2 or the Trans-Caspian Middle Corridor. When successfully implemented, this initiative promises to benefit a wide array of stakeholders, including traders, authorized economic operators, SMEs, transport groups, and insurance companies. I also underscored ADB's exciting upcoming support initiatives for CAREC countries, which include assisting remaining members in joining the UN Framework Agreement on Cross-Border Paperless Trade, strengthening single window operations, and continuing capacity-building collaborations under the ADB-Korea Customs Service MOU. These initiatives are poised to further enhance trade efficiency and regional cooperation. The transition to paperless trade is not just a step forward; it’s a leap into a transformative future that promises to reduce trade costs and promote sustainable development. Achieving this ambitious vision demands a unified regional effort, strong political will, and alignment with international best practices. Together, we can create a more prosperous and interconnected region. #tradefacilitation #CATS #transit United Nations ESCAP #SME #CITA2030

Why should you attend the 2024 #IPCrimeConference? Free Trade Zones (FTZs) 🏭 are vital to the global economy 💰, but they also present challenges to supply chain integrity and global safety 🚧 due to the illegal transit of counterfeit and illicit goods. 🌎 The dynamics of globalization and the growth of international trade 📈 have created opportunities for criminals to exploit relaxed regulations, lax standards, and limited monitoring in FTZs. To effectively disrupt criminal activities 🚓, a more innovative, coordinated, and unified transnational approach is necessary, involving collaboration across agencies 👮♀️, organizations 🏢, and zones 🗺️. The 2024 Conference aims to build alliances 🤝 and implement practical solutions 💡 to these challenges.

Great research about the economic integration in irregular cross-border trade (ICBT) that occurs between Malaysia-Indonesia, in particular the case of Sabah. This study discovers how the political border influences the negative perception of ICBT, although these ICBTs are still highly demanded not only among border community but also beyond that such as the consumer, as well as the trader themselves. Read, and share the knowledge! 😀

[Singapore Customs and GACC sign EODES RCEP MOU, 11 Nov 2024] At the 20th Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC), Singapore Customs and the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to expand the Electronic Origin Data Exchange System (EODES) to include Preferential Certificates of Origin (PCOs) under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement. Since its establishment in 2019, EODES has streamlined trade between Singapore and China by enabling the electronic submission of PCOs and Certificates of Non-Manipulation under the China-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (CSFTA) and the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area (ACFTA). This system ensures document authenticity, reduces manual processing, and saves time and costs for businesses. With this MOU, Singapore and China will extend these benefits to RCEP PCOs. Businesses can expect faster transmissions, enhanced authenticity, and greater convenience when trading within the RCEP framework. This collaboration underscores both countries’ commitment to fostering seamless trade and strengthening economic ties. A significant step forward in supporting businesses and promoting regional trade under the RCEP! #SingaporeCustoms #TradeAgreement #EODES #RCEP Photo Credit: Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI)
