UNCTAD/ASYCUDA COVID-19 Customs Administration Survey


02 November 2021

The fully automated environment provided by ASYCUDAWorld affords customs, cross-border agencies, and traders with the capacity to electronically submit and exchange data and documentation and computerize procedures. This enables the expediting of the clearance of imports, exports, transit trade, and other trade transactions, thereby greatly reducing the need for face-to-face interaction.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to significantly affect all the facets of the international trade supply chain as well as the way the activities of the ASYCUDAWorld Implementation Project are conducted worldwide. Since March 2020, the global supply chains have been experiencing significant disruptions, including through reductions in trade volumes, declines in foreign direct investment, lower consumer goods demand, a reduction in commodity prices, and general economic decline in particular for vulnerable developing countries.

UNCTAD/ASYCUDA Guidelines to Customs Administrations


02 November 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic is profoundly altering the manner in which individuals engage in work activities and go about their daily lives. The global supply chains are expected to experience significant disruptions, including through reductions in trade volumes, declines in foreign direct investment, lower consumer goods demand, a reduction in commodity prices, and general economic decline in particular for vulnerable developing countries.

 

Countries have implemented measures to contain the spread of the virus by:

  • limiting travel
  • reducing non-essential work and promoting teleworking
  • cancelling mass gatherings and promoting social distancing, among others

Borders remain open in most countries to keep supply chains functioning and to allow for continued trade in essential items including food, manufactured goods, and vital medical supplies.
