Gender and Trade - Customs valuation and Rules of Origin - Ask a Question

Author	Message
aixa ansorena Oct 11 2007 3:09AM	I am an anthropologist from Costa Rica. I would like to ask if there is anyone with experience working in customs Valuation and Origen Rules (consistent with the WTO Agreement) and its link with gender issues. The reason I am asking this is because in the context of the FTA signed by Costa Rica with Canada in 2001, the Canada Border Services Agency will assist the Customs administration and other key stakehlders in Costa Rica build capacity and reslove developmental challenges related to the valuation and origin of goods. The purpose is to enhance and build the capacity of Costa Rican Customs to deliver efficient and transparent Customs valuation and Origin Programs that facilitate trade, support private sector competitiveness, and pormote export led growth. The issues involved in this trainning is very technical and the transfer of knowledge will be achieved through the classroom lectures, presentations, work groups, ect. to the administrative staff of the Customs origin and valuation departments. Is there any study or guide of how gender component and/or analysis can be included in the custom valuation and custom origen issues? Thanks for your advise, Aixa Ansorena. aansoren@yahoo.es
