In an increasingly integrated world, in which goods cross national borders multiple times along the supply chain, inefficient trade procedures drive up transaction costs and create barriers that hamper or impede trade flows. In this context, trade facilitation has been identified as a way to reduce this loss of efficiency and, as a result, is a recurrent agenda for both the public and private sectors. The purpose of this article is to identify and explore indicators used as monitoring tools for trade facilitation, with special emphasis on elements and information related to Customs procedures. It seeks to explore the potential that the information provided by such indicators has to support the development, updating or prioritization of national and insitutional trade facilitation projects. Considering that trade facilitation measures represent incentives or impulses in the pursuit of objectives, it is understood tha knowing the indicators, their methodologies and possibly their limitations is an inevitable step in the search for an answer to the following question: what is the best way to achieve the facilitation goals? In view of the significant number of indicators relatade to the topic, resulting fron the very cmplexy of the concept, the scope of analysis was limited to the indicators listed on the World Trade Organization website.
