évaluation en douane

Commémoration du 25ème anniversaire de l'Accord sur la valeur en douane

Genève, siège de l'OMC

In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Customs Valuation Agreement (CVA), the Chair of the Committee on Customs Valuation, Mr Carlos Guevara (Ecuador), hosted a two-hour virtual seminar on 17 November 2020 during which WTO members and other customs experts presented their perspectives and experiences with the CVA.

The Preamble to the CVA recognizes the need for a fair, uniform and neutral system for the valuation of goods, and states that customs value should be based on simple and equitable criteria consistent with commercial practices. This commemorative seminar presented an excellent occasion to take stock and to reflect on these formative principles together with the experiences and perspectives of those who remain guided by the CVA today.

The seminar was comprised of two sessions. The first session – "Experience with the CVA over the past 25 years" – featured speakers who focused on their experiences with certain aspects of the CVA. The second session – "Looking ahead at the future of the CVA" – consisted of speakers reflecting on their perspectives on the CVA going forward. Each session was followed by reactions and discussion among participating members.

Available presentations may be found through links in the programme below.
