Abstract
The New Zealand Customs Service's
risk management system enables it to manage large volumes of
cargo crossing borders with limited resources. The system
encompasses a culture of problem-solving and accountability
for decisions, a standard methodology for identifying and
assessing risk, and an intelligence function that applies
this methodology. This note highlights the fundamental
principles and processes guiding the system, offering
lessons for governments reforming their trade logistics
functions to meet global standards and security requirements.
