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.

Customs-competent staff: nice to have or a must?
02-10-2022

Customs compliance is full of challenges and ‘surprises’ from counterparties, customs brokers, carriers and other persons involved. Unpredictable risks and conditions are the inevitable companions of international trade. However, there are many areas where companies might keep most of the risks under their control. What are these areas? What should companies do to mitigate such risks and meet the related challenges?

'Lex Portus' - the journal launched in Ukraine after the annexation of Crimea
27-02-2022

A year ago, we published an interview with Prof Dr Borys Kormych, with whom we have the honour of cooperating on the editorial board of the CCRM journal. We then discussed the 'Lex Portus' journal, which was started in Ukraine after the annexation of Crimea, to address, among other topics, the resulting legal challenges in transport, customs and border formalities. The war started by Russia in Ukraine sheds new light on many of the topics covered in the interview: the annexation of Crimea, the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, work done in Ukraine to join the Convention on Common Transit Procedure, and more. We invite you to read the interview.

Acquiring customs competence: What is the process?
24-08-2021

The removal of the World’s 5th largest economy (the UK) from the EU Single Market faced all European countries with an unprecedented challenge – to rapidly develop business understanding and expert competence in customs, trade and international regulation – in an environment where the progressive liberalisation of trade had effectively depleted customs expertise over a period of 50 years. Brexit also presents us with a unique opportunity to address some key questions in training.
