Introduction

Illicit Trade

Illicit trade is a worldwide phenomenon and a major challenge for governments, representing nearly 3% of global GDP – USD 2.2 trillion. (World Economic Forum) The consequences of illicit trade negatively impact governments, the local economy, and citizens’ health and safety.

Traceability programs are a government response to this ever-growing threat with the aim to: 

  • Improving tax revenue collection: Governments lose USD 40.5 billion in revenue from the illicit trade of tobacco products annually. (World Health Organization)
  • Detecting, preventing, and reducing illicit trade: Illicit trade activities comprise a wide range of activities, such as smuggling and counterfeiting. Counterfeit spirits and wine drain EUR 1.2 billion in government revenues in Europe. (Tracit)
  • Protecting citizens’ health and safety: Illicit pharmaceuticals are estimated to cause one million deaths annually and contribute to severe public health crises. (National Library of Medicine) Counterfeit drugs have become a USD 200-billion-a-year industry. (Reuters)
  • Complying with supranational regulations: As part of the Protocol to Eliminate Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, member states must implement a tracking and tracing regime to secure the supply chain of tobacco products.
