Facilitating Trade with Origin Interconnectivity: From Framework to Implementation

The World Customs Organization (WCO) will host a Global Forum on Origin Interconnectivity on 3 and 4 February 2025 at the WCO headquarters Brussels, Belgium in an in-person format. The global forum is funded by the Korea Customs Service (KCS) and the European Union (EU) under the EU-WCO Programme for Rules of Origin in Africa. The event will be held in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

The Global Forum is aimed at exploring what is “Interconnectivity” and how does it relate to enabling enhanced management and facilitation of origin procedures. A variety of origin-related interconnectivity topics will be discussed during the two-day event with a special focus on cross-border data exchange related to Certificate of Origin (CO) and Declaration of Origin (DO).
