| Abstract: The Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) and the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF) require, among other things, the reduction of customs formalities and tax reform relating to energy and environmentally friendly vehicles. The question arises as to the measures applied to such vehicles in Madagascar. Analysed on the basis of non-tariff measures implemented between 2015 and 2025, the situation remains uncertain as there has been an increase in the time required for customs clearance of new environmentally friendly vehicles compared to the time required for combustion engine vehicles. Thus, the discussion suggests, among other things, strengthening risk management and improving interoperability between customs and other information systems related to vehicle customs clearance in order to implement the energy transition. |
