THE WTO TRADE FACILITATION AGREEMENT AND THE WCO MERCATOR PROGRAMME APPROACH TO IMPLEMENTATION
This publication complements the WCO Implementation Guidance web tool and represents an Introduction to this Guide. While the Implementation Guidance concentrates on the individual trade facilitation provisions of Section I in greater detail, this document was developed to provide an overview of the TFA, the history behind it, the key steps required for accession to and compliance with the TFA, including sequencing of implementation, provision of technical assistance/capacity building (TA/CB) and monitoring.
