ASYCUDAUNCTAD

RISK MANAGEMENTRISK MANAGEMENT

Selectivity criteria identify the transactions that have to be controlled e.g.:

Fiscal risk: High duty rate goods => loss of revenue

Health/security risk => Prohibited or controlled goods

Random selection completes the criteria

Selectivity parameters allow to apply the selectivity policy (rates of control) according to available resources e.g.:

Why select 200 declarations if only 50 can be

controlled by the available Customs staff?
