10 Vietnam: Modern Customs Bond System Project Launched September 2017: Introduction of a new system to support compliance with WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement and domestic laws Objective: To establish and operationalize a Modern Customs Bond System in order to reduce clearance times through conditional release, and to reduce OGAs current role as a brake at the border Customs bonds will serve as a trade facilitation tool by: 1. Guaranteeing trade compliance by importers and exporters; and 2. Establishing a government-approved model that fulfils government agencies requirements. Direct project beneficiaries are importers, exporters, government agencies seeking greater compliance, and government officials charged with boosting trade.
11 Colombia Two Projects: 1. Center for Trade Facilitation and Good Practices (CTFGP) - a processing mechanism to reduce waiting times at the borders and increase coordination and trust among government agencies and private sector. Approved by the SG in September Objectives: Expedite border processing through a client-based approach to trade that identifies bottlenecks and pilots solutions; and Support better information and build trust between government and the private sector. 2. Risk Management System for Colombian National Food and Drug Surveillance Institute (INVIMA) - an IT-based solution aimed at reducing the rate of physical inspections by INVIMA thus accelerating the clearance process and border points. Objective: To assist INVIMA to implement a risk-based inspection management system in all ports of entry (Inspection, Surveillance, and Control System or IVC System) for food, medicines, medical equipments and cosmetics. - On track to launch the food part of the RMS by the end of the 2017.
