In the course of 2017, Moldova exported to Japan goods to the value of US$1.9 billion, an increase of 32% on 2016, IPN reports, with reference to a press release of the Customs Service.
The importance of intensifying cooperation between the customs organizations of Moldova and Japan, especially by increasing exports to the Japanese market, was underlined in a meeting of the Customs Service director general Vitalie Vrabie and Japan’s Ambassador in Chisinau Masanobu Yoshii.
The cooperation envisions the provision of mutual assistance in correctly implementing the customs legislation, in preventing, investigating and fighting customs frauds and in ensuring the security of the international supply chain.
Masanobu Yoshii said the Embassy of Japan will support the strengthening of cooperation between the customs authorities of the two states, noting he will coordinate the organization of a visit by the administration of the customs administration of Japan to the Republic of Moldova in the immediate future.
