Risk Management: the invisible backbone of customs efficiency and credibility

From October 1st to 3rd, risk management experts from all EUCAB units met in Paris to explore common approaches – focusing on innovation, data exchange, and AI.

In an era of growing trade volumes, increasingly complex supply chains, and expanded threats – from drug trafficking to counterfeit goods and fiscal fraud – customs authorities must act firmly and smartly. Our collective intelligence, experience, and cooperation are powerful assets.

That’s why EUCAB integrates risk management across every domain – maritime, air and postal flows, land borders, and mobile inland units.

Whether it’s building expert networks in ports, refining risk analysis, strengthening joint operations at borders, or supporting mobile enforcement with better threat intelligence – every activity is part of a coherent strategy.

Coordination work within EUCAB framework ensures these efforts are harmonized, best practices are shared, and risk-targeting is enhanced by innovation, data, and collaboration.

French customs officers shared valuable insights across all modes of transport, demonstrating their full support for EUCAB’s work and objectives.
