About the Publication

Published Date: December 2024

 

The Tunisian Customs Administration (TCA) has emerged as a leader in modernizing its customs procedures and improving trade facilitation in Tunisia. The TCA has introduced several initiatives to reduce the time and cost of clearing goods, such as the single window system, which allows traders to submit all necessary documents through a single online portal. Additionally, a risk-based approach to customs clearance has improved the efficiency of enforcement and reduced the risk of smuggling. These efforts have made the customs process more streamlined and effective.

 

The TCA has also focused on modernizing its operations through the introduction of automated and paperless clearance systems. These systems have not only improved processing speed but have also minimized waste and reduced errors. Furthermore, the TCA has strengthened international cooperation by joining the World Customs Organization and engaging in various regional training programs. With a focus on capacity-building and public awareness, including the establishment of a customs hotline, the TCA has effectively enhanced its ability to combat transnational crime while promoting trade compliance and security.
