Commission on Customs and Trade Facilitation

The ICC Commission on Customs and Trade Facilitation has over 120 members from 25 countries and meets twice a year. Commission 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 Commission on Customs and Trade Facilitation 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 Commission's work focuses on customs reform and modernization and the implementation of transparent, simplified and harmonized customs policies and procedures.
