War: How does it highlight the role of a customs specialist, and related challenges?
27-03-2022

The war in Ukraine and all the wars and armed conflicts happening around the world highlight the role of customs and customs specialists, especially as it regards compliance with restrictions and prohibitions. Customs specialists must be not only active, but also proactive, so that bad hands do not get access to the tools they can use to cause suffering. Many other topic-related aspects were discussed, and views from various countries were shared during the 10th Authors’ Meeting, which took place on 17th March 2022.

How to stop the war in Ukraine? Countries apply sanctions. Canada cut Russia and Belarus from the Most-Favoured-Nation Tariff treatment. In just one day, the EU released nine decisions and regulations concerning restrictive measures against Russia. Customs in Lithuania extended controls to check whether sanctioned banks were not used for payment. Many businesses, especially SMEs, for the first time, one way or another, have encountered the impact of sanctions. So what are sanctions? What are the related developments in general?

As is well known, the war started by Russia in Ukraine affects a wide range of areas, both security and economic. It may also affect aspects related to imports and exports between Israel and Ukraine, which have signed a free trade agreement (FTA) in 2019. The reminder on that comes from the European Commission, which on February 23rd, 2022 released a notice to importers regarding imports from the non-government controlled territories of the Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts of Ukraine.

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.
