Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

International Customs Day is celebrated every year on January 26 to recognize the crucial role of customs authorities in facilitating global trade, ensuring border security, and supporting economic growth. The date commemorates the first session of the Customs Cooperation Council (now World Customs Organization) held on 26 January 1953 in Brussels. The day raises awareness about customs procedures, promotes cooperation among nations, and honours customs officials for maintaining lawful trade and secure supply chains. Activities include seminars, workshops, and recognition programs to highlight efficiency, security, and international collaboration in customs administration.
