Consequently, there is need to resolve complicated and duplicated border procedures that are a common feature in third world countries so as to reduce trade transaction costs. This in turn can help improve the flow of goods as well as improve trade performance of many least developed countries. This book gives an insight on how goods are processed at a typical third world border post.
