Customs is an authority in a country responsible for collecting and safeguarding customs duties and for controlling the flow of goods including animals, personal effects and hazardous items in and out of a country.  

Depending on local legislation and regulations, the import or export of some goods may be forbidden, and the customs agency enforces these rules.  

The customs agency 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.  

Customs is an important part of the government involved in one of the three basic  functions of a government, namely, administration, maintenance of law, order  and justice and collection of revenue .  

Таможня - это орган в стране, ответственный за сбор и обеспечение  таможенных пошлин, а также за контроль за перемещением товаров, включая животных, личные вещи и опасные предметы, при ввозе и вывозе из страны.                              

В зависимости от местного законодательства и нормативных актов ввоз или вывоз некоторых товаров может быть запрещен, и таможенный орган обеспечивает соблюдение этих правил.

Таможенный орган может отличаться от иммиграционного органа, который осуществляет контроль за лицами, выезжающими из или  въезжающими в страну, проверяет наличие соответствующих документов, задерживает лиц, разыскиваемых по международным ордерам на арест, и препятствует въезду других лиц, считающихся опасными для страны.        

Таможня является важной частью правительства, участвующей в выполнении одной из трех основных функций правительства, а именно в управлении, поддержании законности, порядка и правосудия и сборе доходов.
