Technical Working Group on Trading Across Borders (TWGTAB)
About
Performance on trading across borders was associated with three sets of procedures—documentary compliance, border compliance and domestic transport—within the overall process of exporting or importing a shipment of goods. The Doing Business indicator looks uniquely at the time and cost associated with documentary and border requirements and regulations mandatory for a shipment to cross the economy’s border.
The Technical Working Group on Trading Across Borders (TWGTAB) pursues initiatives to resolve mercantile export and import issues and impediments by streamlining regulatory processes and procedures in support of Malaysia’s position as a major exporter-importer nation.
