The initiative was formalized in 1989 with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Prevention of Smuggling and Other Customs Offences in the Caribbean Area, which has served to facilitate the exchange of information and mutual assistance between customs administrations.
Today, the CCLEC has 34 countries Members: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, France, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Montserrat, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, Panama, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadine, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, United Kingdom, United States of America and Venezuela.
Aduana News is the first Argentine customs newspaper to launch its digital version. With 20 years of experience, its publications and initiatives aim to provide the most relevant knowledge on customs issues in order to contribute to safe trade in the region.
