The Trade Facilitation Implementation Guide is a collection of self-contained “virtual documents” organized in a structured set of trade-facilitation domains, itineraries, instruments and organizations. It helps readers identify, examine and select available solutions and possible paths for their policy objectives. It does so by introducing trade facilitation and its benefits, and the main steps that need to be taken to put it into place. It presents a variety of concepts, standards and recommendations that can simplify trade throughout the international supply chain, and sets out implementation approaches and methodologies. The available instruments for applying the facilitation measures under discussion at the World Trade Organization are also introduced.
