The World Customs Organization (WCO) has launched on its website the WCO Implementation Guidance for the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade Facilitation (ATF) to support WCO Members in their efforts to implement the ATF.

The Guidance presents the importance of WCO instruments and tools such as the Revised Kyoto Convention for ATF implementation.

The Guidance contains the following categories of information for each ATF Article:

• Overview
• Text of ATF
• Relevant RKC standards and RKC Guidelines
• Other relevant WCO tools
• Member practices
• Performance indicators

The Guidance will be updated on a regular basis and a French version will be released shortly.
