This document discusses electronic single windows and customs as complements for trade facilitation. It notes that electronic single windows can help coordinate customs and economic operators to better integrate supply chains. By capturing trade information earlier, single windows allow for improved risk management and accelerated customs clearance through increased integration and interoperability of international trade procedures and data flows. The document also provides background on the African Alliance for Electronic Commerce, an organization promoting electronic single window implementation across Africa to strengthen foreign trade.

ABSTRACT
On March 21, 2018, at the 10th Extraordinary Summit of the African Union, Close to Fifty (50) African Union Member States
signed the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement, thereby creating the largest free trade area in the world. The
agreement officially entered into force on May 30, 2019, after ratification of the agreement by 22 countries. As of 31 May 2022,
only 43 of the 54 African countries that signed the Agreement Establishing the AfCFTA in March 2018, had deposited Instruments
of Ratification with the Chairperson of the African Union Commission.
But while the AfCFTA is seen as a means of promoting economic growth and investment between African states, it also has a
darker side. Like the Free Trade Zones in Morocco, Gambia, Djibouti and Nigeria, it carries the potential exposures to illicit trade
and financial crime, including but not limited to illicit finance activity, drug trafficking and trade-based money laundering.
This research provides Authorities managing Free Trade Zones, Business Enterprises, Financial Institutions and Dedicated Free
Zone Customs, Police and Immigration Command assigned to deal with aspects of movement of goods and persons in and out of
the Free Zones with a clear understanding of the cross-border financial crime risks associated with the African Continental Free
Trade Area and the risk control measures that combines human intelligence with artificial intelligence, machine learning technology
and robotic process automation to combat cross-border financial crimes in the African Continental Free Trade Area.
This research paper advocates for public-private partnerships through the collective action theory. A partnership between
Authorities managing Free Trade Zones, Business Enterprises, Financial Institutions and Dedicated Free Zone Customs, Police and
Immigration Command assigned to deal with aspects of movement of goods and persons in and out of the Free Zones for information
sharing can help identify and report potential financial crimes.
While many Authors have written research papers on intra-African trade, none of those research papers explained how countries
can assess and mitigate financial crime risks in free trade zones. This research paper describes the ways in which cross-border
financial crime risks can be assessed and adequately addressed by the authorities managing Free Trade Zones. This research paper
analyses the risk assessment topic in line with the African Continental Free Trade Area with a focus on Free Trade Zones in Nigeria.
This research paper would help authorities managing Free Trade Zones, commercial organisations and business enterprises to
identify, prevent and mitigate cross-border financial crime risks. Zone managements and Business enterprises that implement the
risk-based approach, in line with the guidance given in this research paper, will be well-placed to avoid the consequences of
inappropriate de-risking behaviour.
Customs Regulations and Reforms
The document discusses customs regulations and reforms in Myanmar. It outlines the mission, vision, objectives and strategic plan of Myanmar Customs, which includes facilitating trade, collecting revenue, and modernizing procedures. It describes membership in international organizations and key initiatives to harmonize customs practices regionally through ASEAN. The document also provides details on customs procedures, clearance processes, valuation practices, and ongoing modernization efforts like risk management and the implementation of an e-customs system and national single window.
Single window for trade facilitation in asia and the pacific by UN ESCAP
This document summarizes the implementation of single window systems and trade facilitation measures across Asia and the Pacific. It finds that while core customs systems and electronic customs declarations are widely implemented, other paperless trade measures are less common. It also discusses regional initiatives to link national single window systems and enable cross-border paperless trade and data sharing. Finally, it argues that implementing a single window system can help countries meet requirements of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement and improve trade environments.
Mutual recognition of authorized economic operator
AEO is considered as an important tool for facilitation of the customs and trade processes for Customs and for traders, the contribution of trade facilitation to the establishment of open markets and to the creation of long-standing opportunities for investment and, consequently, economic growth and mutual recognition agreements (MRAs) MRA "open the doors" to and for other countries.
Tir convention for regional hub of transit
The TIR Convention facilitates the international transport of goods by road through customs transit. It allows goods to be transported across borders without customs checks or payment of duties as long as they remain sealed. Implementing the TIR system could reduce transit costs and increase trade. The key elements that enable the TIR system are secure vehicles/containers, an international guarantee chain, TIR carnets (customs documents), reciprocal acceptance of customs controls, controlled access to the system, and IT risk management tools. Experts suggest that countries like Bangladesh could gain economic benefits from ratifying the TIR Convention and promoting regional connectivity to serve as a trading hub.
ATA Carnet
The ATA Carnet system allows for the temporary duty-free and tax-free import of goods across borders through an internationally recognized document. It facilitates international trade by simplifying customs procedures and eliminating import taxes and duties. Over 70 countries participate in the ATA Carnet system, which is administered by the World Customs Organization and managed globally by the ICC World Chambers Federation. The ATA Carnet document covers a variety of goods for uses like trade shows, exhibitions, and professional equipment for businesses and can be used for multiple trips over its one year period of validity.

East African countries provide various tax incentives to attract foreign investment, such as corporate income tax holidays and import duty exemptions. These incentives, especially those provided in export processing zones and Tanzania's mining sector, result in large revenue losses of up to $2.8 billion annually for Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda combined. International organizations have criticized the tax incentives as unnecessary for attracting investment and harmful to domestic resource mobilization. While governments recognize the need to reduce incentives, progress has been slow and questions remain about their commitment given potential tax competition within the region as integration deepens.

Towards a Truly Seamless Single Windows _ ERIA-DP-2013-29
This document summarizes the current status of trade facilitation measures in ASEAN, including the ASEAN Single Window initiative. It reviews trade facilitation efforts in other parts of the world and makes recommendations to further enhance ASEAN trade facilitation. The document finds that while ASEAN countries have reduced tariffs through agreements like AFTA, non-tariff barriers like administrative procedures still significantly increase trade costs. "Soft" issues like documentation processing and cargo handling account for over 50% of trade time costs. The document recommends ASEAN further improve trade facilitation through initiatives like expanding the ASEAN Single Window to create a truly seamless trade environment.

PwC and Pole Star_ financial crime risks and trade finance_ July 2016 - WEB
The document discusses the financial crime risks associated with trade finance. It notes that trade finance is crucial to the global economy but also high-risk for money laundering and sanctions breaches due to the complexity of transactions, time restrictions, lack of specific controls and policies at many banks, high transaction volumes, and lack of automation. It identifies common financial crimes like money laundering, fraud, bribery and sanctions breaches. The document recommends regulatory technologies like Pole Star's solution to help banks automate screening, monitoring and auditing to strengthen compliance.

Navigating International Trade: Understanding the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (ECTN) in Sierra Leone
- 1. Navigating International Trade: Understanding the ECOWAS Common External Tariff (ECTN) in Sierra Leone In the realm of international trade, efficient and transparent processes are crucial for the smooth movement of goods across borders. Sierra Leone, nestled on the West African coast, actively participates in regional trade initiatives to foster economic growth. One key component of its trade infrastructure is the ECTN Sierra Leone, a system that plays a pivotal role in facilitating trade within the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The ECTN is an essential element of Sierra Leone's commitment to the ECOWAS integration process. It establishes a harmonized tariff regime among member states, aiming to eliminate trade barriers and promote a more conducive environment for commerce. This standardized approach streamlines customs procedures, making cross-border transactions more predictable and efficient. Sierra Leone, as a member of ECOWAS, adheres to the principles of the ECTN in its international trade practices. The ECTN system requires that all shipments entering or leaving the country be accompanied by an Electronic Cargo Tracking Note (ECTN), a digital document that provides comprehensive information about the cargo. This includes details such as the nature of the goods, their origin, destination, and the involved parties, ensuring transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain. Implementing the ECTN Certificate has not only contributed to a more organized trade framework but has also enhanced security and revenue collection. By digitizing and centralizing cargo information, authorities can monitor shipments in real-time, mitigating the risk of fraud and unauthorized activities. For businesses engaged in international trade with Sierra Leone, compliance with the ECTN requirements is essential. Failure to provide the necessary ECTN documentation may result in delays, penalties, or even the seizure of goods at the port. As Sierra Leone continues to position itself as a key player in the West African economic landscape, the ECTN serves as a cornerstone for fostering regional trade cooperation. By embracing this standardized tariff regime, ECTN Sierra Leone not only facilitates smoother cross-border transactions but also strengthens its commitment to the principles of economic integration and cooperation within the ECOWAS community.
