Mutual administrative assistance in customs matters (CMAA) is a significant component of customs enforcement. It is essential to impose international norms on this matter and, therefore, there are increasingly CMAA agreements and conventions between countries – at the bilateral, regional and global levels. The World Customs Organization (WCO) plays an important part in developing the agreements and conventions. This article looks into these international legal instruments, and examines the relevant work done by the WCO.
