Customs Controls, Risk Assessment, Profiling and Selectivity

To deal with the significant growth in international trade and travel, Customs has developed a control programme based on risk assessment, profiling and selectivity.

Given that the use of selection techniques on a large number of samples in order to select goods and persons to be controlled is not very effective, Customs must urgently implement a technique enabling it to identify goods and persons presenting a high risk while facilitating the control and Customs clearance of passengers and licit goods.

The main objective of this course is to help Customs officers decide how to use the resources available in order to select passengers and/or goods to be controlled, and to decide on how thorough the control should be.


OBJECTIVES

  • Help Customs to maximize its controls by devising a system enabling it to focus its enforcement activities on passengers, goods and means of transport presenting the highest risks;
  • Show Customs how to determine the weak points in its controls;
  • Show Customs how to use profiling to determine the common characteristics of Customs fraud;
  • Show how to use risk indicators to identify high-risk persons, imports or exports;
  • Teach the basics of information gathering and analysis, and the major impact they have on risk assessment, profiling and selectivity.

The teaching offered may serve as basic or ongoing training.
