Burundi Customs Enhances African Trade with WCO Backing
With support from the WCO and the EU, the Burundi Revenue Authority held a national workshop on customs laboratories and the Harmonized System classification of chemical products. The aim is to establish its own laboratory to improve tax collection efficiency, strengthen social and environmental protection, and promote trade facilitation. Guided by WCO experts and through learning technical standards, Burundi Customs is committed to building a first-class customs laboratory, contributing significantly to Burundi's economic development. This initiative is crucial for modernizing customs operations and ensuring compliance with international standards.
