Fonterra joins world’s leading customs advisory group

Geoff Platt1 Jun 2011

Fonterra has become the first New Zealand company to be invited to join the World Customs Organisation’s Private Sector Consultative Group (PSCG).

The PSCG provides trade-​related advice to the World Customs Organisation, the intergovernmental body that develops global customs standards, and procedures relating to trade facilitation and supply chain security.

Fonterra Group customs manager Robb Stevens says membership of the 30-​strong PSCG is by invitation only and includes major global companies such as General Motors, IBM, FedEx and the World Shipping Council.

Stevens says the invitation to join recognises the cooperative’s global presence as a manufacturer, international seller and experience with Customs authorities in various markets.

As a member of the PSCG, the cooperative will have input in simplifying customs processes to smooth the flow of goods for all New Zealand importers and exporters.
