The challenge of finding this balance is further complicated by the rapid growth of e-commerce and the decentralization of trade. To effectively manage this growth, Customs needs to deploy new technologies, such as Automated Detection (AD).
Dutch Customs is one of the leading authorities in the use of Automated Detection. We have worked closely with our partners in the European Union and beyond to develop and implement AD and to share our knowledge and experience.
AD is a powerful tool that can help Customs identify potentially suspicious goods. It uses a combination of data analysis, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to identify patterns and identify anomalies. By using this technology, Customs can quickly and accurately identify goods that may require further inspection.
AD is also a valuable tool for trade facilitation. By automating the process of identifying suspicious goods, Customs can reduce the need for manual inspections and allow goods to move faster through the supply chain. This helps reduce delays and costs for businesses and government agencies alike.
At Dutch Customs, we are committed to continuing to innovate and use technology to improve our operations. We are confident that our experience and knowledge with Automated Detection will help us to continually find the right balance between Customs supervision and trade facilitation.
