On September 1, 2026, the Governor of Guam joined representatives of the Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency to sign an agreement with the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. The agreement formalizes the work toward deploying ASYCUDA, a computer-based customs data management system developed by UNCTAD. This system will refine customs functions such as revenue collection, manifest submission, and data management for statistical economic analysis.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The implementation of ASYCUDA aims to modernize multiple customs functions in Guam, which has relied on manual, paper-based processing since the 1950s. The system is designed to enhance transaction transparency and strengthen enforcement efforts, aligning with international standards like those of the World Trade Organization. This initiative also supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
