Gaozhang Zhu: WCO Director, Compliance & Facilitation Globally Networked Customs: the WCO perspective
Why GNC? • GNC is a logical extension of the international Customs role and also of the WCO’s prime charter • It implies ever-closer collaboration by Customs administrations through enabling technology Mr. Zhu
The story so far • GNC 1st Building Block of ‘Customs in the 21st Century’ Strategy, 2008 • Working group started 2009, final report on feasibility to WCO Council June 2012 • Includes a business model, IT architecture, legal rules, governance principles and capacity building • 2 tracks build on what is in place • Utility Blocks are the breakthrough concept • Model based on Protocol, Standards and Guidelines Mr. Zhu
The Way Forward • Move from Formative to ‘Proof of Concept’ Phase • Pilots testing the GNC components (2 years+) • Slow build up of Utility Blocks • Evaluate and take stock (around 2015) • Move through bi-lateral to multi-lateral to plurilateral • Organically grow C2B and C2G capability • Achieve C2C critical mass (before 2028) • Thereafter………who knows?

¿Por qué Intercambiar Información? 1 • Contexto Comercial: • Globalización • Tecnología 2 • Contexto Operacional: • Facilitación comercial • Seguridad 3 • Contexto Nacional: • Necesidad de mejores controles • Sistema basado en el análisis de riesgo Mr. Gutiérrez
Manos a la Obra • México con 17 Acuerdos, Bilaterales y Multilaterales, que abarcan más de 70 países, cifra que nos posiciona como una de las economías con mayor número de Acuerdos firmados en materia de Cooperación y Asistencia Mutua en Asuntos Aduaneros. • Durante el 2011, se suscribieron Acuerdos con Chile e Italia, y se logró concluir las negociaciones con China e India. Mr. Gutiérrez
Situación Actual Modelo de Datos de la OMA Acuerdo Marco de Cooperación y Asistencia Mutua Diseño Artesanal Todos los Acuerdos y su proceso de implementación son diseñados a medida Incrementa costos y genera incertidumbre Mr. Gutiérrez
PrincipalesRetos de la GNC en Latinoamérica IT • Existen diferencias en las especificaciones de los sistemas. • Restricciones de seguridad a Sistemas Aduaneros. Legal • Economías sensibles a la soberanía nacional. • Voluntad Política. Procesos • Documentos de despacho distintos. • Esquemas y operaciones aduaneras distintas. Mr. Gutiérrez

Beneficios de la GNC IT Beneficios • Comunidad Aduanera más unida. • Mejor control de los flujos de mercancías a través de los países. • Habilidad para diseñar esquemas más certeros de intercambio de información que se traducirá un despacho aduanero más expedito. • Establece el antecedente para una posible automatización de procedimientos aduaneros de manera global. • Incrementa la capacidad de las Aduanas para combatir los ilícitos aduaneros y las ofensas contra los derechos de propiedad intelectual.

GNC – Why You Should Care • Vision (WCO and Trade) • Feasibility and what can be implemented • Risks and areas of concern • Path forward Mr. Bescec
What is Possible Today Partner Eco System Complete Solution Set
What are the Risks? • Real versus imagined • Fear of the unknown • Resistance to change • A matter of “Trust” • Security, data control and access issues • Misuse of data • Balancing risks versus benefits?
Why business cares • Pressing need for global simplification • Each country with its own requirements is untenable • Compliance cannot be assured • Systems cannot be leveraged • Processes cannot be optimized • Agreements (e.g. origin rules) are too complicated • AEO programs are too different • Standardized GNC could begin the simplification process to the benefit of large and small companies and small suppliers and importers Mr. Barone
Strategic Considerations • Adopt readily available information technologies • Enable existing business systems to map to customs partners using existing commercial systems • Export data should enable export clearance and import cargo release • GNC should engage with and address OGA data requirements • The cost of systems to traders is a decision to be made by each trader and country according to its needs • A WCO role should be to train member customs administrations as needed to send and receive data through the network • The world cannot wait for all countries to embrace interconnectivity Mr. Barone
