The Democratic Republic of Congo’s Customs Administration (DGDA) is spearheading efforts to combat counterfeit goods, transnational crime, and promote global trade. By implementing initiatives like the DRC Customs Tariff Handbook, an online customs portal, and the WCO Data Model, the DGDA enhances transparency and accountability in customs operations. Stakeholders benefit from these reforms through improved efficiency and trust.
International cooperation is central to the DGDA’s strategy. Partnerships with neighboring customs agencies and participation in WCO training programs bolster the fight against cross-border crime. Recent legal reforms, such as the Customs and Excise (Amendment) Act of 2022, empower the DGDA with advanced tools and stricter penalties for enforcement. Sustainable practices, including paperless systems and energy-efficient facilities, further highlight the DGDA’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
