Copyright © 2013 World Customs Organization. All rights reserved. What is the TRS? The WCO Time Release Study (TRS) is a unique tool and method for measuring relevant aspects of the effectiveness of operational procedures that are carried out by Customs, other regulatory actors and the business involved in the standard processing of imports, exports and in transit movements. It seeks to accurately measure these elements of trade flows so that related decisions to improve such performance can be well conceived and thereby carried out.
