In 1950 the Customs Cooperation Council (now the World Customs Organization or WCO) was established to secure “the highest degree of harmony and uniformity in customs systems”. The functions of WCO include proposing practical means of attaining this goal; preparing draft conventions and amendments to conventions and recommending their adoption by interested governments; making recommendations to ensure the uniform interpretation and application of conventions; ensuring the circulation of information regarding customs regulations and procedures; providing information or advice on customs matters to interested governments; and cooperating with other governmental organizations.
