“Inland customs office” is the term used to describe a customs office that is not a border customs office or a customs office of export. The essential characteristic is that no goods are directly imported or exported via the inland customs offices.
Inland customs offices are the point of contact for all questions relating to customs clearance and cross-border trade in goods within their area of responsibility. They provide answers and information for companies and private individuals. Details on the import and export of goods and the associated customs formalities play an important role.
