TRADE FACILITATION AGREEMENT'S DEFINITIVE IMPLEMENTATION DATES

As was agreed at the meeting of the Committee on Trade Facilitation on 22-23 April 2021, a listing of the provisions of the Trade Facilitation Agreement that are scheduled for implementation for each Member over the upcoming two-year period from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2026[1] is being circulated for information. The document has no legal status and serves only to assist Members to keep track of their deadlines. As this information may be updated to reflect new notifications received and to account for decisions of the Committee, an online version with up-to-date information can also be consulted on this page:

In line with the provisions of the Trade Facilitation Agreement, Article 17 outlines the process for requesting extensions of implementation deadlines. Specifically, developing Members may submit notifications for extensions of implementation dates no later than 120 days before the scheduled implementation date, whereas least-developed country (LDC) Members must submit such notifications no later than 90 days before the scheduled implementation date.

To further assist Members keeping track of their implementation deadlines, the TFA Database offers the option to subscribe to automatic email reminders of upcoming implementation dates, including deadlines for submitting extension requests. Concerned Members can activate this feature through their Member Profile page at https://www.tfadatabase.org/en/members.
