Fraud warning - Beware of scams using the WCO Brand Identity
Have you received an email claiming to be from the WCO? Beware! This is most probably a scam.
Attempts are made by fraudsters to dupe Internet users through unauthorized use of the WCO name and Brand Identity via e-mail communications which appear, on the surface, to have originated from the WCO.
These communications generally involve a request for payment to permit clearance of products purchased online. Don’t be misled by official-looking logos or names. These are fake! Please be advised that the WCO does not have the authority to intervene in Customs clearance processes, as these are handled by national Customs administrations.
The WCO accepts no liability for any costs, charges or payments incorrectly incurred as a result of fraudulent activities.
