Project to provide short-term training for local customs services institutions in Macedonia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary in order to improve their institutional capacity to perform traditional customs operations and to enforce United Nations sanctions against Serbia-Montenegro. The project will be implemented by the U.S. Customs Service (USCS) and will be tailored to the needs of the participating countries. The program for the nascent customs service in Macedonia will draw upon existing USCS training and TA programs in the areas of organizational development, tariff and trade valuation, and system automation. Training in Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary will consist of 5-6 day in-country programs organized around the goal of enhancing enforcement of sanctions at rail, road, river, and sea entry and exit points. Specific issues to be addressed will include profiling risk assessment (e.g., recognizing signs of suspect activity), personal and vehicle documentation, commercial fraud, and search techniques.
