CAUCA, which governs the customs legislation of the region's countries and the organization of their customs services, is a step towards a regional customs union. Said union is considered to be an important element in negotiations with the EU for a bi-regional association that includes a free trade agreement.
Transport unions and customs agents from the various Central American countries have criticized the Code because they believe it does not promote regional integration.
