Customs Enforcement Agencies

Customs Enforcement Agencies are government organizations responsible for regulating and monitoring the movement of goods, people, and commodities across borders. Their main role is to prevent illegal activities such as smuggling, trafficking, and the import or export of prohibited items. They also ensure that customs duties and taxes are properly collected. These agencies work to protect national security, support lawful trade, and uphold laws related to imports and exports. Examples include U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other similar agencies worldwide. They collaborate with other law enforcement entities to enforce regulations and maintain border integrity.
