SUMMARY:Global Supply Chain Forum 2026 session: Border agency cooperation\,
  is not at the border
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Effective border management begins long before a shipment reach
 es the border and continues after it has crossed. This session will follow
  the end-to-end journey of a shipment\, from the moment goods are ready fo
 r export\, through pre-arrival processing\, border crossing\, transit\, an
 d final clearance. It will examine how border agencies cooperate at each s
 tage of the supply chain to facilitate trade while ensuring compliance\, s
 ecurity\, and revenue collection. The discussion will explore what happen
 s before goods depart from their origin\, what decisions and controls can 
 be undertaken before arrival at the border\, how agencies coordinate at th
 e border itself\, how cooperation supports the movement of goods during tr
 ansit\, and how post-clearance processes contribute to efficient and trust
 ed supply chains. Key message: the border is not a place\; it is a proces
 s. Effective BAC therefore requires agencies to work together across the 
 entire supply chain\, rather than only at the border crossing itself.&lt\;
