Last Tuesday, the Smart Container Alliance held its very first General Assembly inside the World Customs Organization (WCO) headquarters in Brussels. This has been a great opportunity to have a meaningful discussion regarding the growing importance of smart containers in the fight against illicit trafficking, especially regarding their recognition and inclusion in customs lists. We were especially happy to have an insightful presentation from Gerhard Retief and David Zeine from the WCO, covering: 🔹 The UNODC-WCO/PCCP’s interest in the evolution of smart containers ; 🔹 The added value of customs-collected data in improving smart solutions ; 🔹 How customs authorities perceive the role of smart containers ; 🔹 The strategic role of the Alliance in promoting smarts containers to ensure a more secure and resilient international supply chain ; Finally, the meeting also served as a first groundwork for preparing our next collaboration with the WCO, scheduled for September 2025. A big thank you to all our members and WCO colleagues who made this day such a success !🚀 #SmartContainers #CustomsInnovation #SupplyChain #WCO #DigitalLogistics #TradeFacilitation #SmartContainerAlliance #Brussels
