In order to fully address trade facilitation and border management issues, it was decided that all stakeholders involved in international trade transactions at the border should be involved in the Boksburg Group.
Businesses have to cope with costs associated with inefficient border procedures and it is governments and country economies that ultimately benefit from the success of business. Therefore, strong business representation was sought to spell out the realities related to international transactions.
Customs officials have the primary responsibility to manage the border process and to implement the regulations that evolve from developments in trade policy. Therefore, it was seen as essential that experience should be shared between trade policy specialists and customs so that both could shape the regulatory environment at the border in a way that results in manageable and trade facilitative measures being adopted.
Many of the trade facilitation measures under consideration have already been successfully implemented in some countries. Therefore, trade policy specialists with experience in these matters were recruited to offer expert advice to the meetings.
