The World Customs Organization (WCO) has published an updated edition of its Guide to Counter Origin Irregularities (excluding fraud). The updated version includes new cases submitted by WCO Members, along with practical insights on how these cases were solved and how future irregularities can be prevented. The update is expected to assist other Members in dealing with similar issues when they encounter them.
Updated in 2018 to reflect origin
irregularities excluding fraud, the Guide has now been revised to address evolving challenges in the global trading environment. As trade patterns and practices continue to change, the WCO recognised the need to document emerging origin irregularities and share successful countermeasures.
A key focus of the WCO’s approved Implementation Plan is enhancing revenue collection tools, particularly the correct application of the Rules of Origin when preferential treatment is claimed on traded goods, said a release.
