Slovenian Customs Administration: Advancing Transparency and Combating Transnational Crime

About the Publication

Published Date: December 2024

 

The Slovenian Customs Administration (SCA) is a key player in enforcing customs and trade laws in Slovenia, with a strong focus on combating counterfeit goods and transnational crime. Transparency efforts include publishing the Slovenian Customs Tariff Handbook, implementing the WCO Data Model for standardized data sharing, and offering a hotline for reporting customs irregularities. These initiatives enhance efficiency, accountability, and trust among stakeholders.

 

The SCA also leads in international cooperation, partnering with neighboring countries like Croatia and participating in global training programs to tackle cross-border crime. Recent legal reforms, such as the Customs and Excise (Amendment) Act, have strengthened the SCA’s powers, introducing advanced technologies and risk-based customs clearance systems. Sustainable development initiatives, including paperless processes and energy-efficient facilities, reduce the environmental footprint, while trade facilitation measures like a single-window system and secure online portals improve efficiency and reduce costs.
