Customs Administration: Customs Procedures Are Conducted Efficiently and in Accordance with Regulations

To objectively inform the public regarding media reports related to the work of the Customs Administration, we point out facts derived from official records and daily activities of customs officers. The Customs Administration continuously performs its duties in accordance with applicable regulations, ensuring lawful and unobstructed international trade of goods, while also conducting customs controls based on risk analysis and current procedures. Official records of the Customs Administration do not confirm reports of multi-day detention of freight vehicles, which would be a result of customs work or procedures. In cases where the declaration contains necessary data for the customs procedure for which the goods are declared, necessary documents are submitted, and if the declaration is not subject to control, customs procedures are completed in very short timeframes. The Customs Administration remains committed to lawful, efficient, and professional performance of its duties, while ensuring the smooth international movement of goods and protecting the financial interests of the state. We also believe it is of particular importance that accurate and verifiable information based on facts and official data is presented in the public space, so that citizens and the economy are objectively informed about the institution's work.
