In this paper, we investigate how RFID and NFC could improve current customs processes to fight illicit trade. During the import process, customs officers have to evaluate which consignments are inspected and, if an inspection takes place, whether intellectual property rights have been infringed. We propose new micro processes that leverage the dual-existence of products and logistic units in order to enable easier, faster and more reliable inspection of goods and analyze the impact of the improved processes on counterfeiting.
