The WCO is less famous than the WTO, but it sits closer to the daily mechanics of trade. Its instruments shape how goods are classified, valued, declared, risk-assessed and released, long before any tariff dispute reaches a negotiating table. They also underpin how Customs administrations cooperate with each other and with the businesses that move goods across their borders.
