De Wulf, LucSokol, José B.2012-06-062012-06-0620050-8213-5751-4https://hdl.handle.net/10986/7216This handbook aims to make a positive contribution to the efforts that many countries are undertaking to modernize their customs administrations. The handbook views a competent and well-organized customs service as one that successfully balances its various responsibilities to ensure a high level of compliance with revenue objectives and regulatory requirements while at the same time intervening as little as possible in the legitimate movement of goods and people across borders. The handbook recognizes that conditions differ greatly across countries, so that each customs administration will need to tailor its modernization efforts to national objectives, implementation capacities, and resource availability.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAIR TRANSPORTAUDITSCARGOCARRIERSCERTIFICATES OF ORIGINCOMMODITYCOMMON CARRIERSCONSIGNMENTCOUNTERVAILING DUTIESCUSTOMSCUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIONCUSTOMS ADMINISTRATIONSCUSTOMS AUTHORITIESCUSTOMS CLEARANCECUSTOMS CONTROLSCUSTOMS COOPERATION COUNCILCUSTOMS DUTIESCUSTOMS FORMALITIESCUSTOMS FUNCTIONSCUSTOMS MODERNIZATIONCUSTOMS OPERATIONSCUSTOMS POLICIESCUSTOMS PROCEDURESCUSTOMS REFORMCUSTOMS UNIONCUSTOMS VALUATIONCUSTOMS VALUEEXPORTSFAIR TRADEFREE TRADEFREIGHTGATTIMPORTSINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL TRADELANDLOCKED COUNTRIESLEGISLATIONLIABILITYLOGISTICS CHAINMANUFACTURINGPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSRESOURCES MANAGEMENTRISK MANAGEMENTROAD TRANSPORTSHIPMENTSSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTTAX REVENUETAXATIONTECHNOLOGICAL CHANGETHAILANDTRADE AGREEMENTSTRADE BARRIERSTRADE DISPUTESTRADE FACILITATIONTRADE LIBERALIZATIONTRADE LOGISTICSTRADE POLICIESTRADE POLICYTRADE POLICY REFORMTRADE PRACTICESTRADE REGIMEWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5751-4
