About the Publication

Published Date: December 2024

 

The Algerian Customs Authority (ACA) plays a vital role in enforcing trade laws and combating counterfeit goods and transnational crime. ACA’s innovative transparency initiatives include an online portal for customs declarations and public awareness campaigns to educate citizens about counterfeit risks. As a member of the World Customs Organization (WCO), ACA collaborates with neighboring countries like Tunisia to strengthen regional security and combat smuggling. Recent legal reforms have empowered ACA with advanced technology to streamline trade while tightening enforcement.

 

Sustainability is also a priority, with ACA adopting paperless systems and installing solar panels to reduce its environmental footprint. The agency’s single window system and blockchain-based pilot projects ensure efficient, transparent trade processes. Through robust international cooperation, training programs, and a dedicated anti-counterfeit unit, ACA remains at the forefront of global customs enforcement. With a focus on stakeholder engagement, capacity building, and technological innovation, ACA is setting the benchmark for modern customs practices, promoting both legitimate trade and national security.
