From 24 to 28 April 2023, the WCO organized a national workshop on Customs Valuation for the Post Clearance Audit (PCA) Department of the State Customs Committee of Uzbekistan within the framework of the SECO-WCO Global Trade Facilitation Programme (GTFP) to strengthen the capacities of the Customs Administration in the implementation of its PCA.
The 5-day workshop was attended by 22 Customs officials from the Valuation Unit and PCA, who actively participated during the sessions, deepened their understanding of the WTO Customs Valuation Agreement and gained knowledge about PCA as an effective tool for valuation control.
Throughout the workshop, the participants worked on practical case studies applying valuation rules and PCA techniques for effective control. The concept of informed compliance and the importance of customs and business partnerships were also highlighted.
Furthermore, the workshop enabled a platform for discussing real-life valuation problems and practical challenges faced by Customs Administrations in implementing the Valuation Agreement and international best practices for addressing such challenges.
