Customs Series: Covid-19 Conflict and Relief in Customs & Excise and Lessons Learnt (2020)
The Covid-19 pandemic has changed our lives in ways that we never imagined, restricting our ability to travel and meet with family and friends. One thing, however, has become very clear; the continued importance of trade. If anything, the pandemic has re-emphasised the fundamental importance of global trade and that no country, however large can be self-sufficient or be reliant on protectionist policies or ignore the importance of trade facilitation.
The Covid-19 pandemic has shown the importance of the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) in supporting the smooth flow of essential goods across borders to areas where they are most needed. Globalisation, as Deutsche Post DHL CEO Frank Appel recently stated, is here to stay. This webinar covers some key takeaways from the Covid-19 pandemic, what important trade related lessons have been learnt and what response is needed.
