The Eswatini Revenue Authority (ERA) plays a pivotal role in combating counterfeit goods and transnational crime. As the primary agency responsible for customs and excise enforcement, ERA has implemented innovative measures to enhance transparency, streamline trade, and ensure compliance with regulations. The agency’s initiatives include a public awareness campaign, online portals for customs declarations, and a paperless clearance system, making customs processes more efficient and transparent. Through cooperation with regional and international bodies, including the World Customs Organization (WCO) and neighboring countries, ERA strengthens its efforts to tackle cross-border crime.
ERA’s commitment extends to environmental sustainability with projects like solar panel installations and energy-efficient systems. The authority also integrates cutting-edge technologies, such as machine learning and blockchain, to track goods and prevent smuggling. Furthermore, ERA actively engages stakeholders and the public through campaigns and surveys, ensuring that its fight against counterfeit goods is supported by the community and the trade industry. These comprehensive efforts make ERA a key player in global trade security.
