International Customs Day 2024: Trade celebrates 'vital' role of customs workers
Friday (26 January) was International Customs Day, a day where the world of international trade celebrates the hard work and dedication of customs officials around the world.
It's was important day for Davies Turner as it gives us a platform to promote the multiple customs brokerage services that we offer, which you can read more about here:

By using our full DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) solution for export shipments to the EU, our customers can access a solution to keep products moving without friction, removing almost every barrier that can delay a movement, other than physical customs checks.
International Customs Day is held each year on 26 January to commemorate the inaugural session of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) in 1953.
This year, the WCO is focusing on “Customs engaging traditional and new partners with purpose”, a day centred around how the industry works with both long-standing partnerships and builds new alliances to survive in a changing world.
It is an important day in international trade. It reflects the importance of customs professionals and their expertise to helping imports and exports flow across borders every day. Without these diligent people, businesses would struggle to trade.
Recent changes, such as the upcoming Border Target Operating Model, are proving just how important the customs community is to global trade and not just in relation to the UK.
New documentary requirements are being introduced for EU businesses sending animal and plant products into the UK from 31 January, with border checks beginning in April.
