Reason
The process of negotiating border agreements is intrinsically complex, involving several legal issues, geopolitical and economic.
Additionally, the existence of a legal provision may suggest that customs processes are theoretically accessible and managed directly by interested parties on an individual basis. However, in practice, dependence on customs brokers persists due to the technical complexity of these processes and system parameterization and awareness among interested parties.
In view of the above, the request to extend the deadlines for implementing the measures is a prudent measure to ensure that border negotiations are approached with due attention and that the transition to less dependence on customs brokers is carried out effectively, considering the complexities involved.
