Customs and IoT for monitoring risk-management systems: some recent applications.

The expansion of international trade may influence security in all stages of supply chains of goods. In this regard the aim of this study is to present some thoughts on recent applications concerning customs and IoT for monitoring risk management systems: the Authorized Economic Operator status and the so-called “Feri certificate”. The Authors will present a literature review and will focus their attention on the two above-mentioned case-studies. Even if these tools have diverse legal and technical aspects that make them significantly different, they both simplify customs procedures and facilitate customs controls related to safety and security in all stages of supply chains of goods by adopting a risk-management strategy.
