Customs and global supply network

Abstract

In the European Union customs deal with the policy of duties of the international trade. They are also responsible for the efficient security of the EU financial interests. The global trading system is not secured against the terrorism which can cause a serious damage to the global economy. Being a part of the governmental organisations that monitor and manage a cross-border movement of goods, customs administrations appear in a unique position, as they ensure an increased security of the global supply network as well as contribute to the social and economic development through the revenue collection and the trade facilitation. With the growth of the international terrorism and the increased threats of the weapons, counterfeit and pirated goods as well as hazardous materials to enter the country and thus endanger the international trade and public security, customs are confronted with new challenges. One of the main challenges is to implement measures related to the safety and security of the international trade supply and to prevent the terrorism, smuggling, organised crime and other criminalities.
