This is important today, because today is the Day!

Today, we join Customs Officials worldwide, led by the World Customs Organisation (WCO), in honouring the inaugural meeting of the Customs Co-operation Council, which took place in Brussels in 1953 by marking International Customs Day (ICD).

International Customs Day occurs annually on January 26. We commend the WCO for adopting the topic “Nurturing the Next Generation: Promoting a Culture of Knowledge Sharing and Professional Pride in Customs” for 2023.

Let’s toast to Customs Worldwide: Statement by Members of the Trade Contact Group Advising DG TAXUD.
