Governments
worldwide
adopt
policy
measures
to
regulate
cross-border
trade
and
transit
in
regulated
and
sensitive
goods.
Export
control
measures
may
be
introduced
to
protect
the
environment,
public
security,
combat
drugs
and
organised
crime,
and
international
peace
and
security.
The
evolution
and
constant
changes
of
export
control
regimes
worldwide
create
significant
challenges
for
global
trade.
Under
export
control
the
export,
import,
transit,
brokerage,
and
technical
assistance
may
be
restricted
or
subject
to
licensing/permits.
The
procedures
for
the
control
measures
and
license
regimes
vary.
In
the
recent
years
the
complexity
of
export
control
regimes
has
increased
adding
significant
costs,
uncertainty,
and
risks
to
global
trade.
Economic
operators
face
increased
reporting
requirements,
documentary
requirements
(end
user
certificates),
a
rapidly
changing
list
of
goods
subject
to
export
controls,
application
of
sanctions,
and
variance
of
permit
procedures.
UN/CEFACT
does
not
have
specific
recommendations
and
standards
addressing
the
intricacies
of
procedures
and
formalities
for
export
control.
This
project
aims
at
discussing
how
trade
facilitation
principles,
such
as
embodied
in
the
WTO
TFA
and
UN/CEFACT
recommendations,
and
how
they
can
be
used
to
assist
economic
operators
complying
with
export
control
requirements.
It
will
take
stock
and
map
the
procedures
and
documentary
requirements
resulting
from
export
control
regimes,
narrowing
on
specific
area
such
as
dual
use
items
and
sanction
regimes.
It
will
discuss
facilitation
measures,
such
as
transparency,
simplification
of
documentary
requirements,
used
to
facilitate
trade,
compliance
and
enforcement.
The
project
is
in
line
with
UN/CEFACT
programme
of
work
for
the
TPF
domain.
