The Rwanda Trade Portal is a trade facilitation platform implemented by the Rwanda Revenue Authority under the supervision of the National Trade Facilitation Committee. The Trade Portal has been developed to publish trade procedures online, displaying them step-by-step, with contact information on enquiry points, fees and access to forms. It provides traders with transparent information on trade procedures and the government with a tool to measure the impact of the trade facilitation reforms.
