E-Commerce module 2: Managing Cross-border e-commerce Guiding Principles and Standards

This course was designed to assist Customs Administrations to strengthen their understanding and operational capacity in the cross-border e-commerce environment, drawing on the WCO E-Commerce Package, including the Framework of Standards on Cross-Border E-Commerce and its supporting implementation tools. In this module, you will move from understanding what cross-border e-commerce is to learning how it can be managed. You will be introduced to the key principles and standards of the WCO Framework of Standards on cross-border e-commerce, and explore how they translate into practical, operational approaches for Customs administrations. This module builds directly on the foundation set in Module 1 and prepares you to think in structured, risk-based, and data-driven ways. This course has been made possible with the support of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs of Switzerland (SECO) through the SECO-WCO Global Trade Facilitation Programme (GTFP).
