Customs controls should ensure that the movement of vessels, vehicles, aircraft, goods and persons across international borders occurs within the framework of laws, regulations and procedures that comprise the Customs clearance process. Risk analysis and risk assessment are analytical processes that are used to determine which risks are the most serious and should have priority for being treated or having corrective action taken. Inspection selectivity programmes make use of risk profiles, which have been established in a process of risk analysis and assessment. Risk profiles encompass various indicators, such as; type of good, know trader and compliance records of traders, value of goods and applicable duties, destination and origin countries, mode of transport and routes and are built based on characteristics displayed by unlawful consignments (or offending passengers).
