1. Japan considers that trade facilitation plays an important role in promoting the development of international trade and the world economy.

Securing the implementation of existing WTO agreements
2. In Japan's opinion, the following existing WTO Agreements are relevant to trade facilitation:

Agreement on Implementation of Article VII of the GATT 1994 (Customs Valuation)
