Expediting the movement, clearance & release of goods have been a major desire for many Customs in the 21st Century
Just-in-time delivery of goods have become important for business and brings significant benefits to all parties involved in the supply chain

Some initiatives to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of Customs and OGAs procedures are based on perception

The new Agreement on Trade Facilitation
The Delays in the release of goods are very often attributed to Customs since they are one of the more visible agency at the border.
