Customs use of information is a significant input to national trade performance, including important areas such as valuation and goods classification. What about other border regulatory agencies? Electronic systems are the only realistic solution to the information management challenges faced by Customs and its partners in Government and industry to achieve the best possible border management and supply chain security.

Panel 2 : Trade Facilitation 11.00 - 13.30 Moderator Markus Werling (SAP)	For reasons to do with a wide range of community protection and environmental concerns, all countries maintain strong border controls, and Customs is usually the principal border agency. Whilst those controls give Customs its mandate to operate at the border, an efficient Customs agency can contribute significantly to overall economic performance, especially at ports and elsewhere in the supply chain. Is the best way to improve efficiency through the implementation of modern ICT processes, and can this be measured?
