This webinar will focus on Customs Administrations' use of advanced technologies to facilitate trade and enhance safety, security, and fair revenue collection.
The global use of advanced technologies such as blockchain, the internet of things, data analytics, and artificial intelligence will be shared through a presentation of the findings of a survey of Customs use of these technologies as set out in a joint WCO/WTO publication titled: The Role of Advanced Technologies in Cross-border Trade: A Customs Perspective.
The webinar will feature presentations by Brazil, Nigeria, Singapore, and the Inter-American Development Bank on opportunities and challenges faced by Customs in deploying technologies.
