| Summary: | Led by the Ministry of Commerce, Trade,
and Industry, Zambia undertook a trade-facilitation needs
assessment of its alignment with the articles of the World
Trade Organization Trade Facilitation Agreement (WTO TFA) in
January 2015. The assessment resulted in identification of
gaps and recommendations for addressing them. This led to
Zambia ratifying the WTO TFA on December 15, 2015. This
smart lesson describes the process of setting up a plan for
risk-based border inspections at the Zambia Bureau of
Standards, and it shares some lessons learned. |
