WHAT IS A CUSTOMS AGENCY? From Wikipedia: Customs is an authority or agency in a country responsible for collecting and safeguarding customs duties and for controlling the flow of goods including animals, transports, personal effects and hazardous items in and out of a country.
WHAT IS A CUSTOMS AGENCY? Depending on local legislation and regulations, the import or export of some goods may be restricted or forbidden, and the customs agency enforces these rules. The customs authority may be different from the immigration authority, which monitors persons who leave or enter the country, checking for appropriate documentation, apprehending people wanted by international arrest warrants, and impeding the entry of others deemed dangerous to the country.
Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) The Canadian customs are controllingall the imports. The role of the customs agencyisalso to inform. Now a days, CBSA and other customs organizations are using the internet to communicatewith the community, civil or business. The waytheythink: Nobodycan claim their innocence or not knowing the law. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO!
