Customs Administrations

Customs Administrations are government agencies responsible for regulating and monitoring the import and export of goods across a country's borders. Their primary roles include enforcing laws, collecting duties and taxes, and preventing illegal activities such as smuggling or trafficking. They inspect shipments, verify documentation, and ensure that trade complies with national and international regulations. Customs administrations facilitate lawful trade, protect local industries, and uphold security and public safety. Essentially, they act as the gatekeepers at borders, ensuring that what enters or leaves the country complies with legal standards and international agreements.
