Enhancing Customs Control in Cambodia Through Risk Management Policy

Abstract

International agreements and the strategy of the Royal Government of Cambodia emphasise strengthening trade facilitation and customs control through risk management policies. The General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia has made significant progress in managing risks associated with revenue fraud and prohibited goods, and has restricted smuggling while facilitating legitimate trade through its reform and modernisation efforts. This research explores policy options to strengthen technology systems and the capacity of customs officials to manage risks.
