WCO Workshop in the Dominican Republic Enhances Training Expertise for the Region
By Guzmán Ariza, Attorneys at Law
The World Customs Organization conducted a trainer workshop on customs valuation for South America, North America, Central America and the Caribbean, on November 2023, in the Dominican Republic.
The workshop aimed to develop a pool of expert trainers to ensure that customs administrations have competent staff to deliver training at national level for proper application of customs valuation.
The training methodology part ensured that the participants were updated on the approach for the design, development and delivery of training, and facilitation techniques to enhance their role as expert trainers who are expected to contribute to customs competencies development and performance.
Participants were also given the opportunity to deliver presentations on specific technical topics, enabling them to apply the core knowledge and facilitation skills acquired during the workshop.
Customs valuation sets out a fair, uniform and neutral system for determining the value of imported goods on which customs officials levy duties. Any company involved in international trade can benefit from the fair and predictable valuation of goods for customs purposes.
