Committee on Customs and Trade regulations

The ICC Committee on Customs and Trade Regulations has over 120 members from 25 countries and meets twice a year. Committee members comprise customs policy specialists from ICC member companies and business representative organizations.
The liberalization of world trade and investment has drawn attention to practical obstacles to the free flow of goods, services and investment across borders - in particular those related to customs policies and procedures.
The central objective of the Committee on Customs and Trade Regulations is to overcome these barriers, to ensure that the liberalization of global trade and investment has a positive impact at the level of the individual international trade transaction.
The Committee's work focuses on customs reform and modernization and the implementation of transparent, simplified and harmonized customs policies and procedures.
