Russian Customs Officers’ Day

October 25 · Level 7 · #783 of 2238

Russian Customs Officers’ Day honours the staff who oversee goods crossing the border and tackle smuggling. It recognises their contribution to economic security and the operation of international trade.

How it is celebrated: customs offices hold ceremonial gatherings, present awards and congratulate employees. Meetings with service veterans offer a chance to recognise experience and remember professional achievements.

Customs work goes well beyond duties and suitcases. Smuggled goods can include cultural treasures and protected wildlife, so inspecting a shipment may also help safeguard historical objects or species threatened by illegal trade.
