About the journal

Dear Reader,

Customs formalities cover global supply chains from the country of exportation to the country of importation. The legal rules to be addressed on the way are extensive (tariff, non-tariff, safety, etc.). They vary across countries and regions, change constantly, and often are inaccessible because of the language barrier and/ or unavailability online. 

Businesses aim to arrange customs formalities in the most cost-effective way, taking into account tariff preferences, the variety of customs procedures, and the simplifications. Therefore, the task to ensure compliant and cost-effective customs formalities is a complex one and any customs-related topic is in the scope of the journal. 

At the core of the Customs Compliance & Risk Management Journal for Practitioners in Europe are these keywords: up-to-date customs knowledge, compliance, harmonisation and simplification of the international and national rules (the simpler the rules, the easier to trade and to manage compliance and risks).

The first bi-monthly issue was released at the end of March 2020. Stakeholders - business, customs, academia, and others - from all over the world are invited to read the journal and to contribute articles.

Port Community Systems & Customs (Part II)
04-05-2022

The aim of Port Community Systems (PCS) or trade Single Windows (SW) activities is not to replace existing systems. Rather, it is to create a sufficient landscape of electronic infrastructure … and exchange mechanisms to link the administrative processes with the operation of all stakeholders involved. Collaboration/ cooperation is the key to getting everyone on board and creating the right modern environment for an effective port. This can create an attractive environment for trade and, thus, an increase of economic activities. So, what role do PCS play, and are or can they be a building block for the process?
