Customs officers play a crucial role in the clearance customs process, ensuring compliance with regulations and security measures. They verify and enforce laws related to international trade, scrutinizing shipment documents for accuracy and completeness. Physical inspections are conducted using techniques and tools to detect prohibited or illegal goods, preventing smuggling and safeguarding national security. Customs officers also collect duties and taxes by assessing customs value, tariff rates, and additional charges. They meticulously review customs declarations to ensure compliance and cross-reference information against documents and IT systems. Finally, they make the critical decision of granting customs clearance, releasing goods for further transportation or distribution. Without customs officers, international trade would lack necessary controls and safeguards.
