On June 12, 2026, the World Customs Organization (WCO) hosted the second webinar of 2026 under its theme of “Customs Protecting Society through Vigilance and Commitment.” Participants were made up of “representatives from Customs administrations, international organizations, law enforcement agencies, academia and the private sector.” This included WCO Deputy Secretary General Ricardo Trevino Chapa, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Secretariat, and members of Hong Kong Customs and the Egmont Group. The discussions centered around the importance of Customs generally and the WCO playing an active role in combatting money laundering, the need for financial intelligence development, and the necessity of collaboration between Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), Customs/WCO, banks, and tax authorities.
