Customs


The purpose of a Customs Administration is to control the flow of goods going in and out of a country. Control can focus on security, taxation or other matters.

Customs Administrations traditionally focus on the financial aspects of the import and export of goods. Import duties may be imposed on certain goods in order to protect the domestic market. Following the events on 9/11, a considerable focus on security was added. Governments now want to know more about the safety and security of the goods entering and leaving their countries. In addition, the old procedures that focused on fiscal aspects had to be changed or amplified to adapt them to the new security requirements. For example, fiscal examination of goods can be done without risk somewhere in the inland of a country, as long as the nature of the goods cannot be influenced, whereas security control of goods always has to be done at the border of a country to prevent dangerous goods entering your territory.
