Singapore backs Revised Kyoto Convention to standardise int'l trades

It is the flagship convention on the Customs process and trade facilitation.

Singapore declared its support for the International Convention on the Simplification and Harmonisation of Customs Procedures or the Revised Kyoto Convention on 25 June 2022.

The Revised Kyoto Convention, the World Customs Organisation’s flagship convention on trade facilitation, aims to oversee global trade by imposing standards and recommended practices for “contracting parties on Customs procedures and techniques.”

“Singapore’s accession affirms our commitment to reinforce our position as a reputable major trading hub, and to maintain procedures and standards that facilitate international trade,” said Ho Chee Pong, head of Singapore Customs.

The revised convention also ensures Singapore’s customs procedures are following international standards, which will cut compliance costs for businesses and speed up the movement of goods across borders.

In addition, it ramps up confidence in foreign investments, which will benefit economic development.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
