Customs and Tax authorities worldwide are typically driven by the following often contradicting goals: trade facilitation, revenue collection and risk management. These organisations are required to act as gatekeepers, to protect the country from a wide range of threats, while at the same time facilitating trade and collecting revenue. The goal of facilitating trade, implies a quick and efficient clearance service, while protecting the country against risk and the accurate collection of revenue from Customs duties could mean the exact opposite. Customs organisations are thus faced with performing a fine balancing act between these opposing goals. 

The concept of Integrated Revenue Management Services (IRMS), where Customs and Tax authorities are effectively integrated, is becoming common practice. These inter authority and agency collaborations are often incorporated within a single window concept. Tax payer profiles could provide valuable Trader information for Customs authorities in ascertaining risk decisions.

Customs Modernisation is also extending its collaboration towards other government agencies where information sharing is becoming a major benefactor in trade facilitation and retaining regulatory compliance. This could include, Agriculture, Farming, Health, Standards and Immigration Authorities.
