How to engage effectively with other border agencies in a coordinated border management context

​The Trade Facilitation Agreement requests all national border authorities/agencies to cooperate with each other and coordinate border control and procedures to facilitate trade.

Such cooperation and coordination may include alignment of working days and hours, alignment of procedures and formalities, development and sharing of common facilities, joint controls and establishment of one-stop border post control. 

At the same time, different border agencies maintain their own particular institutional, legal and procedural frameworks. 

This session will explore how the common interests among border agencies can be discovered and mobilized in support of TFA implementation and economic development.
