The SECO-WCO Global Trade Facilitation Programme (GTFP), under the auspices of the WCO Mercator Programme, held a Virtual Study Visit between the State Customs Committee (SCC) of Uzbekistan and the Maldives Customs Service (MCS) in the area of Post Clearance Audit (PCA) from 21 to 23 September 2021.
The Virtual Study Visit enabled the SCC officers from the newly established PCA department to strengthen their capacities based on the experience and insights of the MCS, specifically pertaining the challenges encountered upon implementing their PCA Unit.
During this Virtual Study Visit the PCA officers of the Maldives generously shared their knowledge and best practices regarding their organizational set up, legal framework, operating procedures, coordination with other units and IT systems.
The results of this fruitful exchange include strengthened PCA capacities within the SCC and identification of areas of opportunity on the current procedures undertaken, as well as enhanced cooperation amongst these WCO members.
