This reference work provides operational guidance for policymakers, trade practitioners, and economists on how to assess, design, and implement trade facilitation reforms in Asia and the Pacific. It outlines key measures — such as simplifying customs procedures, improving transport infrastructure, harmonizing standards, and automating documentation — and discusses institutional frameworks, legal instruments, and regional cooperation needed to reduce trade costs and promote efficient cross‑border trade. The book draws on regional case studies and offers a practical roadmap for governments aiming to improve trade flows and integration in the Asia–Pacific region.
