DRC: import-export operations now digitised via the Single Window
On 6 October in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo launched the digitisation of import-export number applications and renewals via the Single Window for Foreign Trade (GUICE) platform. According to the Secretary General for Foreign Trade, Jules Muilu Mbo, this system allows economic operators to centralise all their procedures online, reducing travel, delays and costs, while increasing the transparency and traceability of public revenues.
Training courses will soon be organised to support administrative staff and economic operators in all provinces.
