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.
