- COURSE OBJECTIVES
Trade facilitation has emerged as an important trade policy tool in an international environment characterized by falling import tariffs and removal of quotas. Reductions in trade transactions costs through better trade facilitation measures at national and regional levels can bring significant economic benefits to economies in the world. Accordingly, trade facilitation issues are increasingly a part of international and regional trade policy discussions. The global trade talks on the Doha Development Agenda include negotiations of a trade facilitation agreement, focusing on freedom of transit, fees and formalities for import and export, as well as publication and administration of trade regulations (transparency). This course aims to provide general concepts in trade facilitation, and to support the implementation of trade facilitation measures in different countries. It attempts to bridge the gap between theory and practice in trade facilitation.
