six dimensions of trade: 1) Customs performance to measure the efficiency of Customs and

border management clearance, 2) infrastructure quality to measure quality of trade and

transport infrastructure, 3) international shipments to measure the ease of arranging

competitively priced shipments, 4) logistics competence to measure the competence and quality

of logistics services—trucking, forwarding, and customs brokerage, 5) tracking and tracing to

measure the ability to track and trace consignments and 6) timeliness of shipments to measure

the frequency with which shipments reach consignees within scheduled or expected delivery

times. Figure 19 presents the World Bank’s LPI (Logistics Performance Index) scores for 51 OIC,
