REPORT (2021) OF THE COMMITTEE ON TRADE FACILITATION  
TO THE COUNCIL FOR TRADE IN GOODS  
1. The Agreement on Trade Facilitation (TFA) entered into force on 22 February 2017. This report 
covers the period  from 22 October 2020 to 21 October 2021.  
2. During the period under review, the Committee on Trade Facilitation (TFC) held six formal 
meetings: on 26 January (G/TFA/M/14); on 3 -4 March (G/TFA/M/15); on 22 -23 April (G/TFA/M/16); 
22-23 June (G/TFA/M/171); 19-20 July (G/TFA/M/182); and on 19 to 21 October (G/TFA/M/193). 
3. The TFC also held eight informal meetings: on 13 January; 26 February; 3 March; 22 A pril; 
22 June; 19 Ju ly; 22 September ; and 13 and 19  October . 
4. The incumbent Chairperson, Ambassador Katrina NAUT (Dominican Republic), departed 
Geneva in December 2020. As a result, the Chairperson of the Council for Trade in Goods, 
Ambassador Mikael ANZÉN (Sweden), subsequently chaired the Committee meetings in January on 
an ad hoc basis. Mr Christopher O'TOOLE (Canada) was selected as Interim Chairperson on 5 
February 2021. Mr O'Toole was subsequently elected Chairperson of the Committee for the year 
2021-2022 on 30 July 2021, through written procedures.  
5. During the period under review, the work of the TFC focused on four mains areas: matters 
relating to the implementation and administration of the TFA; experience sharing/thematic 
discussions; updates on Mem bers' responses to the COVID -19 pandemic  (including the compendium 
of the measures reported under document G/TFA/W/40/Rev. 1) and the first four -year review under 
article 23.1.6 of the Trade Facilitation Agreement.  
MATTERS RELATING TO THE IMPLEMENTATION AND  ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRADE 
FACILITATION AGREEMENT (TFA)  
6. Two Members notified their domestic ratification of the TFA – the United Kingdom on 1 January 
2021 and Liberia on 29 April 2021. This brings to 154 the total number of Members that have ratified 
the Agreement (94% of the Membership).  
Transparency notifications  
7. The Committee undertook a review of notifications received under the TFA at each of its 
meetings during the period under review. Under Section I of the Agreement, Members are required 
to submit a number of transparency notifications under articles 1.4 (imp ort, export and transit 
procedures); 10.4.3 (single window); 10.6.2 (customs brokers) and 12.2.2 (exchange of customs 
information)  During the period under review, the Committee received 36 transparency notifications . 
A number of Members emphasised that tra nsparency notifications must be notified in a timely 
manner, in accordance with Members' individual implementation plans. Furthermore, attention was 
drawn to the need to regularly update transparency notifications with the most recent URLs in order 
to reta in the most up -to-date relevant information.

  Implementation notifications  
8. Developing and least developed country Members wishing to invoke the special flexibilities of 
the TFA are required to do so under Section II of the Agreement (articles 13 to 22).  Under Section 
II, Members are required to notify their implementation commitments to the Committee in 
accordance with Articles 15 and 16. During the period under review, 28 Members submitted 
notifications under Article 16 (category B and C designations) and o ne Member submitted a 
notification under Article 15 (category A designation).  
9. In accordance with article 16 of the TFA, the deadline for least developed countr y Members to 
present their definitive dates for the implementation of category B provisions was 2 2 February 2020. 
In accordance with article 16.2 (b) of the TFA, if a least  developed country Member, before this 
deadline  believes it requires additional time to notify its definitive dates, the Member may request 
that the Committee extend the period suff iciently to notify its dates. During two meetings held on 
20 and 28 February 2020, the Committee granted requests from nine least developed country 
Members4 to extend the notification deadline. The latest extension granted was 21 February 2021  
which falls within the period under review . Three Members submitted their notifications in 
accordance with their extended deadlines  during the period under review . Two Members continue to 
have outstanding notifications.5 
10. The Committee received thirteen requests for an extension of definitive dates for 
implementation of category B and C commitments under  article 17 of the TFA ("Early Warning 
Mechanism"). Eight of the req uests  for extension did not exceed 18 months and were notified in a 
timely manner  therefore, in line with article 17 .2 of the TFA, those Members received the requested 
additional time without any further action by the Committee6. No objections were raised  to a request 
from Mongolia (G/TFA/N/MNG/1/Add.1), for an extension exceeding 18 months.  
11. Four requests  for extensions under article 17 did not reach consensus in the Committee and 
they were not approved.7 Following discussions on the requests from Peru, T onga and Ukraine in 
the Committee meeting of 3 March, the Chair held two small -group consultations on 26 March and 
19 April in an effort for the Committee to identify a way forward, not only on these requests, but to 
reach an understanding regarding notifi cations under article 17 for the future, if possible.  
12. Following the consultations, and as a means of assisting Members to avoid missing notification 
deadlines for requesting extensions under Article 17, it was agreed at the Committee meeting on 
22-23 April  that the Secretariat would produce an annual evergreen reference document that 
identified Members with implementation dates over the upcoming two -year period. The document 
was issued as G/TFA/INF/1 and will be updated annually. In addition, a new reminder  functionality 
was added to the TFA Database Website ( https://tfadatabase.org/implementation/commitments -
due-by-date) where Members can search  for due implementation commitments  by date, by Member 
and by measure . 
13. Article 19 of the TFA allows for developing and least developed country Members to shift 
notified provisions between categories B and C. During the period under review, the Committee 
received seven notifications under article 19, three8 of which reflected shifts of provisions from 
category B to category C, and four9 of which indicated shifts of provisions from category C to category 
B.

  Notifications regarding technical assistance and capacity build ing support  
14. In accordance with Article 22 and of the TFA, donor Members are required to provide 
information regarding their provision of support for capacity building (article 22.1) as well as 
regarding their process and mechanisms through which to receive  assistance (article 22.2). During 
the period under review, five donor Members submitted notifications  in accordance with these 
articles. Article 22.3 requires those Members seeking technical assistance and capacity building 
support to notify their contact  points. Seventeen developing and least developed country Members 
submitted notifications under article 22.3.  Twelve  Members notified progress in assistance received 
and gaps remaining to implement category C commitments.  
EXPERIENCE SHARING/THEMATIC DISCUS SIONS  
15. The Committee holds experience sharing and thematic discussions as part of its regular 
meetings.  During the period under review, Members shared their experiences on items such as

the TFA database.10 
16. The period under this review continues to be impacted by the COVID -19 crisis. Consequently, 
the Committee has continued the practice that it stated at its meeting of 30 September 2020 of 
Members sharing their experiences with implementing trade facilitating responses to mitigate the 
COVID -19 crisis.  
COMPENDIUM OF SHARING EXPERIENCES RELATED TO THE COVID -19 CRISIS  
17. The Committee , based on an i nitial EU proposal,  agreed11 that the Secretariat would compile 
a compendium document of the contributions of COVID -19 responses that the Committee on Trade 
Facilitation  Members and Observers have provided the TFC so far. The compendium includes the 
presen tations made by Members and international organizations. It presents the COVID -19 related 
trade facilitation measures that Members reported to the Committee that they had taken, including 
the challenges and difficulties addressed by the measure, if mention ed by the Member . To the extent 
possible, the measures are reported under headings that reproduce Articles 1 to 12 of the TFA. When 
not possible , the measures are reported as "Other Measures ". The Compendium was circulated in 
G/TFA/W/40/Rev .1. At the meeti ng of 19 -21 October, the EU introduced comments on 
G/TFA/W/ 40/Rev.1  in document  G/TFA/W/63.  
FIRST FOUR  YEAR REVIEW UNDER ARTICLE 23.1.6 OF THE TRADE FACILITATION 
AGREEMENT  
18. Article 23.1.6 states that "The Committee shall review the operation and implementation of 
this Agreement four years from its entry into force, and periodically thereafter". The Trade 
Facilitation Agreement entered into force on 22 February 2017, therefore, the first review of the 
Agreement was required to be carried out this y ear. 
19. At its meeting of 3 March 2021, the Committee on Trade Facilitation adopted a calendar and 
procedure to undertake the First Review (G/TFA/1). The Committee identified mid -November 2021 
as the deadline for completion of the review.  During the reporting  period, in addition to the 
Committee's regular meetings, the Committee has held four informal dedicated sessions on the

  20. In accordance with the roadmap, a first draft factual section of the review , which provided 
information regarding the implementation and operation issues of the Agreement, as determined by 
Members during the review period, was circulated in document G/TFA/W/41. A number of written 
textual edits on the draft factual report, as wel l as new proposals, were received from Members and 
were circulated in the JOB/TF/227 and JOB/TF/228 document series. These communications were 
incorporated in to draft form into the draft Secretariat's factual report which  formed the basis of the 
draft revi ew, and was circulated as G/TFA/W/41/Rev.1  in August 2021 . 
21. A further revised document, G/TFA/W/41/Rev. 2, was circulated on 12 October for 
consideration at the meeting of 13 October. Following the Committee meeting of 19 –21 October, 
the Secretariat circulat ed document G/TFA/W/41/Rev.3, which reflected the outcome of the 
discussions at the September and October  small-group consultations plus the regular Committee 
meeting.  
TRADE FACILITATION AGREEMENT FACILITY  
22. At the Committee meeting of 22 – 23 April 2021, th e United States submitted a proposal 
calling for the Trade Facilitation Agreement Facility (TFAF) to fall under the purview and direction of 
the TF Committee  as a means to ensure that Committee oversight, direction, and responsibility will 
provide transpar ency to the TFAF activities being undertaken, the funding of TFAF, and transparency 
to Member's assistance by TFAF.12 
23. At the Committee's meeting of 20 -22 October 2020, the US had requested that TFAF continue 
to focus only on its grant programme, and not pursue other activities provided for in its operational 
guidelines  including technical assistance, capacity -building and  coordination with Annex D partner 
organizations.  During the period under review, t he Committee agreed at its meeting of 22 -23 April 
that the Chair would hold consultations in an effort to resolve the current moratorium on technical 
assistance elements of TFAF's activities.  
24. The Chair held eight13 rounds of consultations, four of which were in an open-ended format, 
and the remainder were small -group meetings. At the Committee meeting of 19 -21 October, the 
Chair reported that w ork was continuing in the small -group consultations on examining a form of 
guidance from the TF Committee to set out its relationship with, and to provide some direction and 
guidelines, to help TFAF. He also reported that, i n parallel, the consultations ha d agreed upon 
introducing a transparency mechanism comprising a request form on the TFAF website supported 
by a web-based activity tracker . This mechanism would provide the Committee with a line of sight 
into what requests were being  made  to TFAF , and it would  also provide an opportunit y for other 
Members to get in touch with the requester to see if they could help out  in the delivery of the activity. 
Resulting from the Committee meeting of 19 -21 October, TFAF will be able to accept activity requests 
from Members for technical assistance  and capacity -building support  once the request form and  
web-based tracker are up and running.  
REPORTING BY TFAF AND OTHER ANNEX D ORGANIZATIONS  
25. The TFAF provided oral updates during the Committee meetings of 3 –4 March, 22 -23 April, 
22-23 June, and 19 –21 October, on the Facility's activities. The Annex D organizations updated the 
Committee on their activities at the meeting of 22 -23 April 2021. Reports by TFAF and the Annex D 
organizations  plus the International Trade Centre  to the Committee's meeting of 19 -21 October were 
circulated in written documents G/TFA/W/ 66 and G/TFA/W/ 67.
