This report therefore highlights the situation of unrecorded trade as it is actually taking place in many African countries. Its contacts are to a very large extent also based upon previous desk studies which have been carried out by the secretariat. It is for this reason among others that the study attempts to focus attention on the following main issues: the different forms of border trade, the main types of products which are dealt with in these transactions, the factors responsible for unrecorded border trade; and its economic impact on African economies, especially in the informal sector. It also contains recommendations for consideration with a view to overcoming some of the problems addressed.
