Survey questions posed to WCO members in 2021
The WCO and the WTO jointly designed questions on advanced technologies to enhance the 2021 WCO Annual Consolidated Survey (ACS) which was distributed to 183 WCO members to provide a snapshot of the level of implementation by customs authorities of advanced technologies. This annex contains the eighteen questions which formed chapter 4 of the 2021 ACS.
Impact and ease of adoption of advanced technologies
The survey seeks to assess respondents’ expectations of the positive impacts that technology will have on customs operations in the future.
Securing cross-border trade through advanced technologies
Advanced technologies have already begun to automate global supply chains. However the scope and potential for using the latest technology to further facilitate cross-border trade is far greater and has been explored by international organizations the private sector academia and other stakeholders.
How to use this toolkit
This toolkit aims at raising awareness of the technical and legal tools to be called upon to adopt cross-border paperless trade systems and national single windows (NSWs).
Introduction
Using electronic documents and transactions can speed up and increase trade. Electronic messages can eliminate the need to enter data into a computer manually at each supply chain checkpoint and can provide opportunities for the potential reuse of data.

These recommendations were provided by Customs the private sector and academia in discussions held on different occasions in the last four years including at the October 2017 Permanent Technical Committee the annual dialogue held between the Private Sector Consultative Group and the Policy Commission in June 2018 the WCO technology conferences and regional workshops on disruptive technologies held in 2021 and 2022 the WTO 2018 research workshop and the 2019 and 2021 Global Trade and Blockchain Forums.
