WCO dedicates International Customs 2023 to Nurturing the next generation by promoting a culture of knowledge-sharing and professional pride in Customs The theme of this year is about placing human capital, and especially the new generation, at the heart of the transformation of Customs - an approach the WCO has been advocating for a number of years. Young Customs officers often have particular strengths, but they need to acquire specific, and often tacit, knowledge and know-how. This approach to learning must be rooted in the culture of the administration, holding true throughout the officers’ careers. It requires not only dynamic inter-generational relationships, but also an outward-looking attitude, characterized by exchanges with the actors engaged in the movement of goods and passengers, as well as with service providers and with academia.

The International Customs Day 2022 (ICD) onJanuary 26th will be dedicated to the efforts of Customs to operate in a fully digital environment and create an operating model that captures and exploits data from across the trade ecosystem. Thus, throughout 2022, under the slogan “Scaling up Customs Digital Transformation by Embracing a Data Culture and Building a Data Ecosystem”, Customs will further evaluate how to tap into data from other government agencies, commercially available databases, and open-source information platforms such as digitized global public records and multilingual news sources. In this video the Secretary General as well as the Chairperson of the WCO Council, the six Vice-Chairs and the Directors and the Head of Administration of the WCO addresses the Members on the theme of the year and wishes a "Happy International Customs Day" to Customs' stakeholders.
