Customs officers

Customs officers are government officials responsible for enforcing regulations regarding the import and export of goods at border checkpoints, airports, and ports. Their main duties include inspecting luggage, cargo, and vehicles to prevent illegal items, such as drugs or weapons, from entering or leaving a country. They also collect taxes and duties on imported goods and ensure compliance with national and international trade laws. By doing this, customs officers help protect the economy, public safety, and national security while facilitating legitimate trade and travel.
