Customs Code

The Customs Code is a set of rules and laws that govern how goods are imported and exported across international borders. It standardizes procedures for customs authorities to assess, inspect, and clear shipments, ensuring compliance with trade policies, security measures, and tariffs. The code helps facilitate international trade by providing clear guidelines, streamlining processes, and preventing illegal activities like smuggling, while also collecting revenue through tariffs. In essence, it acts as the legal framework that manages the movement of goods between countries, balancing trade facilitation with security and economic interests.
