International Customs Day recognises the work of customs administrations and the role they play in international trade, border management and public protection. It highlights cooperation between countries, fair movement of goods and efforts to prevent illegal trafficking while supporting legitimate commerce. The day also invites discussion about how customs work connects economies, safety and global supply chains.

Event suggestions:
• Creating an interactive display about trade routes, border processes and global goods
• Hosting a discussion on how customs supports safety, fairness and cooperation
• Mapping everyday products to explore international movement and cultural exchange
