Greetings & Bula Vinaka!

We are very excited to present our first Oceania Customs Organisation E-Newsletter. We intend to make it a regular publication and use it to advise you of future events, report on previous events and encourage you to share developments with the OCO Community. Whether you are new to us or a current member, our hope is to continue to meet the needs of our members by bringing you helpful information, ideas and any Customs related product update.

There are so many interesting experiences and opportunities to learn and our E-newsletter is just one way we can share that information. Another way OCO will be reaching out to you is through our newly revamped website (www.ocosec.org ) filled with helpful information and resources.

I hope that you enjoy reading each issue of the OCO E-Newsletter. If you have a suggestion for an article just let us know. As always, if there is anything we can do to help your Administrations, or if you have any questions regarding the work of the OCO, please contact us through the information presented at the end of this publication.

The OCO team is here to support you. So stay “tuned in and logged on…”. We are strengthening our OCO Community and working for you!

Thank you
Seve Paeniu
Head of Secretariat
