The second activity under Phase II of the SECO-WCO Global Trade Facilitation Programme (GTFP) took place in Peru on June 25, 2025. Held as a virtual forum, the event focused on Practices and Tools to Optimize Risk Management in Customs Valuation for the Customs Administration of Peru (SUNAT). It brought together 60 Customs officials from various SUNAT units, along with representatives from Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay.
During the forum, participants exchanged regional experiences on implementing databases to optimize risk management in customs valuation. The activity fostered discussion for the integration of more efficient and transparent procedures for value verification and analyzed regional practices for engaging the private sector in detecting customs valuation offences.
As a result of the forum, SUNAT identified actions to strengthen its value verification processes and enhance collaboration with the private sector to improve valuation control.
The WCO will continue to support Peru in its efforts to strengthen customs valuation procedures and increase the transparency and predictability of cross-border trade.
