Customs documents

These documents are crucial for the enforcement of customs legislation. They include information on the nature, quantity, origin and destination of goods transported across the border, as well as information on the parties concerned, such as the importer, exporter and transporter. By keeping this information, the authorities can monitor compliance with customs legislation and detect illegal activities.

Customs documents have an important function in the field of trade statistics. The data collected from these documents is used to monitor and analyse international trade, so that policy makers can make more informed decisions.
