Given the changes in trade practices after the signing of several international agreements, the General Administration of Customs (AGD) is obliged to develop a new customs code to strengthen its ability to fight against fraud and smuggling.

During a meeting held this Thursday, December 15, 2022, officials of the AGD presented to members of the Association of Industries of Haiti (ADIH) the draft of the new customs code that will replace the one adopted in 1987.

The director of control of the AGD, Gracia Ralph insisted on the need to develop this new customs code to meet the conventions and agreements that regulate trade.


The modernization of customs control through the continued dematerialization of procedures and customs processes, the improvement of the risk management system, the modernization of the legal and regulatory framework among other important points cited in the implementation of this new customs code, said Garcia Ralph during his presentation.
The customs commissioners who took part in this meeting, are pleased with the presentation of this project for the adoption of a new customs code that expands their scope of intervention.
