Grant Description

Then Customs and Border Protection will assist Vietnam Customs in developing technical tools, systems and processes, and internal procedures for monitoring and measuring trade compliance.

Improved performance in these areas will help Vietnam fulfill its obligations under the World Trade Organization's Trade Facilitation Agreement, meet its ASEAN commitments and prepare the country for additional obligations likely to stem from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP).

The USAID/GIG is also supporting a private sector led alliance, led by the American Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam interested in engaging on trade facilitation reform.

Another area of potential collaboration beyond the current activities is in the area of combatting illegal trade, specifically as it applies to combatting wildlife trafficking (a key provision of the TPP environment chapter).
