Customs Act

The Customs Act is a law that governs how goods and people move across a country's borders. It sets rules for importing and exporting products, ensuring proper documentation, collection of duties and taxes, and prevention of illegal items like smuggled goods. The Act establishes authorities and procedures for inspecting shipments, assessing compliance, and taking enforcement actions when laws are broken. Its purpose is to facilitate lawful trade, protect economic interests, and maintain national security by regulating border crossings in an organized and efficient manner.
