Published Date: December 2024

 

The Angola Customs Administration (ACA) has emerged as a pivotal force in combating counterfeit goods and transnational crime while fostering global trade. As Angola’s primary customs enforcement agency, ACA has implemented transparency initiatives such as the Angola Customs Tariff Handbook and an online customs declaration portal, enhancing efficiency and stakeholder trust. The adoption of the World Customs Organization’s (WCO) Data Model has further improved the accuracy of customs data, enabling timely international collaboration.

 

ACA has strengthened global partnerships, signing agreements with neighboring countries like Namibia to share intelligence and combat cross-border crime. Recent legal reforms have empowered ACA with advanced technologies and risk-based customs clearance, reducing smuggling activities. Additionally, sustainable development initiatives, including a paperless system and energy-efficient practices, have minimized environmental impact. ACA’s capacity-building efforts and public awareness campaigns underscore its commitment to innovation, compliance, and trade facilitation, establishing it as a global leader in customs enforcement.
