Border control and customs are two different agencies, and although they have similar names, their duties and tasks are fundamentally different.
Border inspection, the full name of entry and exit border inspection, is an agency responsible for the inspection and management of people entering and leaving the country. It is mainly responsible for preventing illegal immigration and entry, ensuring that during the inspection process, border control officers will verify the documents and identities of people entering and leaving the country, inspect luggage and items, and ensure that there is no smuggling and carrying contraband. In addition, border control also needs to maintain the order of entry and exit and ensure border security.
In contrast, the Customs, the full name of the General Administration of Customs, is the agency responsible for the supervision and management of imported and exported goods and articles. Its main responsibility is to collect customs duties and taxes and prevent smuggling and illegal imports and exports. Customs will also supervise the quality and safety of imported and exported goods to ensure international fairness and legality. At the same time, customs also plays a role in promoting international development and protecting domestic industries.
In general, although the responsibilities of border inspection and customs are different, they are both important institutions established to maintain and promote international security. In the international world, the role of these two institutions is indispensable, and together they ensure the smooth progress of the world.
