Customs Automated Mutual Assistance Agreement

The Customs Automated Mutual Assistance Agreement (CAMA) is an international arrangement that allows customs authorities from different countries to share information and coordinate efforts to combat cross-border crimes like smuggling and drug trafficking. By electronically exchanging data on shipments, travelers, and goods, participating countries can enhance security, facilitate legitimate trade, and prevent illegal activities more effectively. CAMA promotes cooperation and strengthens global border management through efficient communication and collaboration between customs agencies.
