Kazakhstan Customs Service Day
December 12 · Level 7 · #697 of 2238
This is the professional day of Kazakhstan's customs officers, who keep an eye on what crosses the country's borders and how. Their work protects the economy and helps lawful trade move without delays.
How it is celebrated: there are official ceremonies, awards for outstanding officers and meetings with service veterans, and colleagues receive congratulations from management and partners.
The border between Kazakhstan and Russia is the longest continuous land border in the world, at about 7,500 kilometres. Today Kazakhstan belongs to the Eurasian Economic Union, which operates a single customs territory.
