About the Publication
Published Date: December 2024
The Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) stands as a global leader in combating counterfeit goods and transnational crime while fostering transparency, international cooperation, and sustainable development. Through initiatives like the publication of the Rwanda Customs Tariff Handbook and the implementation of an online customs declaration portal, the RRA has revolutionized trade efficiency. Adoption of the WCO Data Model and a dedicated customs hotline further enhances accountability and data accuracy. Legal reforms, including the Customs and Excise (Amendment) Act, have fortified the RRA’s mandate with stricter penalties and risk-based customs clearance methods.
The RRA’s sustainable development efforts, such as the paperless clearance system and energy-efficient practices, underscore its commitment to reducing environmental impact. International partnerships, like agreements with the Tanzania Revenue Authority and WCO training programs, strengthen its capacity to combat cross-border crime. By promoting sustainable trade, social responsibility, and advanced trade facilitation systems like the single-window platform, the RRA continues to lead by example, empowering stakeholders and streamlining global trade processes.
