Delivered WCO Risk Management Workshop in Kazakhstan

I had the privilege of co-facilitating the WCO Risk Management National Workshop for the State Revenue Committee (SRC) of Kazakhstan, held at the Radisson Hotel in Astana from 12 to 14 May 2025. The workshop had 30 participants from different Customs offices of Kazakhstan Customs. The workshop focused on various aspects of risk management such as trader categorization, insider threats, international postal stream, and interactive risk profiling dashboards. One of the most important parts was the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches into Customs risk management and use cases of AI in various Customs administrations.

This workshop was conducted with two other WCO Risk Management Experts, Anders Alpsten from Sweden Customs and Sreya Hong of Cambodia Customs. It was a unique opportunity to collaborate, share experiences, and support Kazakhstan Customs in its journey toward more modern and resilient risk management systems. The mission was generously supported by the Customs Cooperation Fund (CCF) China.
