Simplifying Trade Procedures

Simplification of trade procedures results in substantial gains for the economy. But it cannot be achieved by making ill-thought-out, ad hoc and cosmetic changes. There is an urgent need to create a small organisation at the national level which can take a comprehensive look at all aspects of simplification of trade procedures. It will be useful to look at how other countries have gone about simplifying trade procedures. SITPRO, the UK organisation that deals with simplifying trade procedures, seems to be a good model to study and emulate.
