Progress reported
16 June 2022 — G/TFA/N/TON/4  
World Customs Organisation (WCO) and the World Bank Group (WBG) provided technical assistance to conduct Tonga's Time Release Study in 2020 which has been completed and is a baseline to measure the impact of reforms and initiatives. What remains is to adopt the recommendations of the Time Release Study (2021), schedule the reform actions (2021) and undertake the TRS after the implementation of the ASYCUDA World (2024).

TACB support is still required from Donors for the following:
1. Capacity building on designing, planning, and implementing Time Release Study for all relevant agencies
2. Stakeholder engagement to disseminate the results of the study
