Overview

The Business at OECD Expert Group on Anti-Illicit Trade allows businesses and the Business at OECD national federations to provide evidence-based and structured input to OECD activities on illicit trade. It provides business leadership and market insights through written comments on related OECD policy drafts, active participation in meetings of the OECD Task Force on Countering Illicit Trade (TF-CIT) and relevant OECD conferences, and co-hosts with relevant partners, as appropriate, events and projects on key issues for members.

2020 PRIORITIES

  • Promote the TF-CIT to external stakeholders as a trusted source of reference on illicit trade
  • Assist governments in implementing OECD Recommendations on Enhancing Transparency in Free Trade Zones (FTZs)
  • Develop guidance for addressing “Small Parcels” trade in contraband and illicit commodities and the role of e-commerce and on-line markets in fueling illicit trade
  • Work with critical sectors, governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other key players to counter illicit trade and harness blockchain, AI and other technologies
  • Support continued research and analytical papers on counterfeit (e.g. pharmaceuticals, alcohol, tobacco, food, toys and apparel as initial sectoral focus) and other illicit products
  • Integrate convergence crime elements into work of the TF-CIT including corruption, money laundering, etc.
  • Support regional TF-CIT dialogues in strategic markets (e.g., UAE, APEC, Panama)

 


 

Business Engagement At OECD

OECD work focuses on evidence-based research and advanced analytics to assist policy-makers to map and understand the market vulnerabilities created and exploited by illicit trade. Recent work has examined governments’ institutional capacities to counter illicit trade and promote transparency in free trade zones (FTZs), and it has also looked into exploring institutional gaps that enable illicit trade in small parcels, FTZs, e-commerce, and across vulnerable sectors.
