Customs Cooperation Council (CCC)

The Customs Cooperation Council (CCC), now known as the World Customs Organization (WCO), is an international group that helps countries work together to improve customs procedures, prevent illegal activities like smuggling, and facilitate legitimate trade. It develops standards, best practices, and policies to ensure customs authorities worldwide can efficiently and effectively carry out their duties, promoting secure and smooth international trade. By fostering cooperation, the WCO helps balance enforcement with facilitation, benefiting global commerce and security.
