Celebrating World Customs Day in COVID Times
International Customs Day was celebrated virtually this year, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. January twenty-sixth is the day designated to honor custom officials and agencies for their function in taking care of the flow of goods across the world borders. But with the pandemic still raging, issues of effective service delivery and revenue collection are being looked at carefully by the Customs and Excise Department to improve efficiency where necessary, despite the restrictions caused by the widespread effect of the disease.
