departments. The new department will be staffed with 44 customs officers.
Risk Management Cycle
Turkey
 TCA is using an integrated customs data warehouse (GUVAS) that supports CRM in
identification of the risks on the pre-arrival summary declarations, detailed
declarations, NCTS declarations, TIR/transit tracking program and land border gates
program. The Bilge CDPS data is also integrated in the DW for managing the information
related to feedback from the control, case management, irregularities and seizures.
 The TCA CRM is covering the full CRM cycle and is intelligence-led. The CRM process of
profiling and targeting is fully automated. A small number of customs declarations are
based on random selection only in the case when the customs declaration is not targeted
with the specific risk profile.

 An Inter-Services Committee is coordinating the CRM Department and analyzes risks to
customs operations. The analysis is based on statistics, operational experience,
information received from various sources, instructions from the authority, etc. The
main objective stipulated in the CRM strategy is to decrease all types of controls in the
red channel by 15%. There is a two parallel CRM systems – SIAR and TAME that are used
for risk analysis, targeting and risk guidance.

 The CRM Department is responsible for the identification, analysis, preparation, and
prioritization of the risk profiles. AW selectivity module has limited technical facilities
to identify and target the high-risk goods which comprise applying profiles on the
central and local level.

countries (Macedonia, Serbia and Monte Negro).
Monitor and Review
Turkey
 TCA CRM Directorate is continuously monitoring the performances related to the
feedback from the controls and noncompliance. The RA Department conducts an
assessment of the risk profiles at every six months.
Senegal
 Senegalese Customs is using the quantitative measurements - number of declarations
per channel and feedback from control/inspection as performance indicators of ratios
per channel and measuring the effectiveness of the CRM via the ratio of controls number
and the results obtained. For the customs offices that are not connected to the TAME
system, the paper remains as the only means of transmission of the inspection results.
 Senegalese Customs has developed an National Information and Documentation System
(FNID), a database for management of information related to drugs, litigation, vessels
and currency declarations.
