The World Customs Organisation (WCO) provided training to the members of the National Trade Facilitation Committee Working Group on utilizing the WCO Time Release Study Tool and identifying key 'testing points' in the clearance to prepare a TRS survey. The TRS Working Group developed an initial survey; however, it was not conducted due to the impact of COVID-19 on cargo volume and release times.In 2023, the World Bank Group provided further training and support for the TRS Working Group. FRCS led a Seaport TRS at both ports (Lautoka and Suva Ports) in June 2023. All Border Agencies were committed to ensuring that the findings are thoroughly vetted and validated before publication, as the study's outcomes hold significant implications for trade facilitation and economic growth in Fiji. Border Agencies analysed the extensive data collected from the TRS and, assisted by the World Bank Group, officially released the report in September 2024 and published the report on the FRCS website at: https://frcs.org.fj/public-notice/national-time-release-study-report-2023-on-a-page/ https://frcs.org.fj/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/NATIONAL-TIME-RELEASE-STUDY-REPORT-2023.pdf A new 2025 TRS for air cargo at Nadi International Airport is currently under preparation and is planned to run for two weeks during June 2025. The TRS will be a joint FRCS/BAF/MOH, with engagement and assistance from Air Terminal Services (ATS) and the Fiji Customs Brokers Association (FCBA). The TRS Working Group is currently conducting a series of training workshops and field tests at Nadi Airport to provide an overview of the TRS Methodology and a refresher on the Fiji TRS System for Fiji Border Agencies and Industry. The goal is to consider the initial survey sheet, verify the processes (workflows, etc.), get feedback from counterparts, and establish the survey in the WCO TRS system. It is anticipated that Fiji will require assistance in the next few years after the completion of the TRS analysis. The country aims to be self-sufficient for future TRS by 2026. Areas of assistance required: None identified. |
