Key Focus Areas 

At the RPSG-AP meeting of 8 August 2024 the Group’s priorities for the next 2 years (to align with the WCO Asia Pacific Strategic Plan) were agreed. Working Groups will be formed to action the priorities, with regular updates to the wider Group.

Attendance ‘slots’ at some WCO and PSCG meetings are limited to 3-4 per invitee and working group members should have preference for any meetings related to their priority.

These priorities do not preclude work on other relevant topics that may come to the Group’s attention, or to continue with existing work as appropriate.

The Five Areas of Focus 

• Free Trade Agreements (Rules of Origin & Operational Customs Procedures)

• Digitisation

• Authorised Economic Operator (AEO)

• E-Commerce 

• Supply Chain Resilience
