Now, governments, the business community and individuals are looking to improve their respective financial situation as a matter of absolute necessity during the current global economic downturn.

Prudent management of ICT is a means to reap benefits that impact positively on the effectiveness of all customs operations, and hence the improvement of national finances. This paper provides some definitions of ICT and identifies the importance of its use in customs environments.
