MANILA, Philippines — South Korea’s Customs Service has highlighted its use of artificial intelligence and digital technologies to improve efficiency, inspections and risk response.
At the 44th International Customs Day held recently, Korea Customs Service Commissioner Myeong-ku Lee said these initiatives align with the Philippines’ customs reform efforts and ongoing collaboration with the KCS, including information exchange, capacity-building and technical cooperation to strengthen enforcement, risk management and trade facilitation.
Philippine Ambassador to the Republic of Korea Bernadette Therese Fernandez joined Lee, senior officials and members of the diplomatic corps in celebrating the 44th International Customs Day in Seoul.
The event underscored the vital role of customs in securing and facilitating global trade, a field of growing cooperation between the Philippines and South Korea.
Lee said that modern customs go beyond processing goods, serving as a critical function for trade facilitation, supply chain security and public safety.
