WCO Annual Report 2019-2020

WCO has published its 2020 Annual Report, summarizing the main activities undertaken during financial year 2019-2020, the main developments within the WCO and its regional structures, and the future challenges to be addressed by the WCO Secretariat and its Members.

The Report begins with the traditional Forewords from the Council Chairperson and the Secretary General, and then presents the main highlights of financial year 2019-2020 through a timeline of events.

Particular focus is placed, naturally, on the WCO’s response to the COVID-19 crisis, with a dedicated page offering an overview of the numerous specific actions taken by the Organization to assist Members with their national responses to the pandemic, in terms of both the facilitation of legitimate trade and the protection of society.

The Annual Report also provides general information about the WCO, its structures, its management and its main decision-making bodies. The last part of the Report is a compilation of data received from WCO Members which allows for the establishment of country profiles in terms of staff, WCO instruments implemented, progress made with the automation of procedures, and the main statistics on trade flows during financial year 2019/2020.
