Custom Reforms and Modernisation

WTO does not need any introduction today. The trade has gone up substantially over the years. The importance of customs has, therefore, gone up tremendously. The customs have to perform delicate functions. On one hand, it has to bring about a balance between the international practices and the age old cultural background of the country. On the other hand, it has to draw a line between the hard line taken to tackle difficult traders and the facilitation towards long clientele. Because of this appeal, this topic viz “Modernisation of customs” has been chosen with care. In order to provide readers with facility, the author has taken a huge dip on the whole world. The idea is to provide the readers an entire global sweep. Regional agreements have been given special attention. An exclusive chapter has been kept for India. It is hoped that this enormous efforts will bear fruit. The book will serve as a reference material for readers,analysis, researchers and the others.
