Mission to the ASEAN Customs Directors General Meeting, 2017

The US-ASEAN Business Council is now registering executives for the Customs Directors-General Meeting. This is the Customs and Trade Facilitation Committee’s flagship mission where member companies are given the opportunity to engage all 10 ASEAN Customs Director-Generals all at once in a neutral environment. During the DG Meetings, the delegation will present a policy paper to the assembled Customs DGs during a formal consultation session. A draft of the policy paper was presented at the ASEAN Coordinating Committee on Customs on April 26. It covers the following topics:

• Enhancing supply chain efficiency, connectivity and security;
• Supporting new players in international trade – especially in e-Commerce;
• Improving customs and transfer pricing regimes; and
• Reviewing and advocating for the ASEAN customs integration agenda
