CBM HANDBOOK

– The coordinated approach by border control

agencies, both domestic and international, in the

context of seeking greater efficiencies over

managing trade and travel flows, while maintaining

a balance with compliance requirements

– Structured approach to border management

– Effective delivery of services and infrastructure

– Ability to address strategic issues across the

border sector

– More efficient use of human resources

– Risk management

– Stakeholder benefits

Core Principles of CBM


•Eliminates duplications in info requirements – each information only needs to be submitted once

•Allows all personnel have the info they need to do their work effectively

Shared Information

•Reduces costs through sharing resources between different agencies – NII equipment, inspection bays, offices, IT systems

•Co-location allows everyone to work “under one roof”, enhancing communication and availability

Shared Resource

•Agencies empowered to assist each other. E.g. customs empowered to conduct checks on behalf of CBRAs, in a joint border post, customs from either country can clear imports / exports

Shared Work

•Common sense of purpose and vision among all agencies at the border.

•Facilitation coordinated between all agencies, controls determined holistically

Shared Responsibilities
