Customs

Customs refers to the government authority responsible for regulating the import and export of goods, collecting duties and taxes, and enforcing trade laws. Customs agencies monitor compliance with safety, security, and trade regulations, including prohibited or restricted goods. They verify documentation such as invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Customs procedures may include inspection, valuation, classification under tariff codes, and duty assessment. Efficient customs operations are critical to international supply chains, while non-compliance can result in fines, delays, or confiscation.
