Customs facilities are designated areas at ports, airports, and borders where goods and travelers are inspected by customs officials. These facilities ensure that items entering or leaving a country comply with local laws and regulations, including tariffs and safety standards. They play a crucial role in preventing illegal activities, such as smuggling and trafficking. In addition to inspections, customs facilities often provide services like documentation processing and payment of duties. They may also include areas for storage and examination of goods. Efficient customs facilities help streamline international trade and travel, benefiting both businesses and travelers by reducing delays and ensuring compliance with international regulations.
