4.3 Risk analysis and risk management system
- The principle of customs control is the proper application of customs regulations and compliance with
other legal and regulatory requirements, with maximum facilitation of international trade and travel.
Customs controls should therefore be kept to the minimum necessary to meet the main objectives and
should be carried out on a selective basis using risk management techniques to the greatest extent
possible.
- Application of the principle of customs controls will allow Macedonian customs administrations to:
o focus on high-risk areas and therefore ensure more effective use of available resources,
o increase ability to detect offences and non-compliant traders and travellers,
o offer compliant traders and travellers greater facilitation and
o expedite trade and travel.
- The advantage of using information and communication technologies for customs control purposes is the
ability to make information easily available to all authorised customs officials. Automation opens up the
possibility of accessing information held on databases maintained by other law enforcement agencies,
such as police records, immigration files, etc. The application of information and communication
technologies also allows customs officials to assess various data, such as selectivity criteria, speedily and
accurately, in order to identify their usefulness and helps them to react quickly to changing
circumstances.
- In ensuring compliance with customs regulations, in order to make efficient use of scarce resources,
customs administration must employ selectivity and risk assessment techniques. While these techniques
are not necessarily dependent on information technology for their implementation, they cannot really be
applied efficiently and consistently without it. In an automated environment the same selectivity and risk
assessment principles can be applied to both goods and persons.
- This part has be developed in close cooperation with the International Convention on the Simplification
and Harmonisation of Customs Procedures 16 and the Guidelines to International Convention on the
Simplification and Harmonisation of Customs Procedures 17 .

4.3.1 Risk management
- Risk management is fundamental to the effective targeting of consignments for examination. Selectivity
profiles are only as good as the information they contain. Regular review of profiles will tell customs
officials which data elements and combinations of data elements have successfully detected noncompliant
declarations. Analysis of the declaration information itself will also afford clues to trends and
identify potentially high-risk consignments.
