“Every country has its own customs” is one of the favorite English proverbs. But custom in their language means not only custom, but also … customs. So, each country has its own customs, and the specialists working on it are primarily engaged in ensuring the procedure for the export and delivery of goods, transport across the state border. Customs officers are often involved in financial matters, when it is necessary to collect payments, and «paper» work, if customs clearance of certain goods is required.

A customs officer is a civil servant whose duties include control of goods transported across the border, people passing by, collection of fees and customs duties. As a rule, university graduates begin their work as ordinary inspectors. Later they become senior inspectors, department heads. A brilliant career will allow him to take the chair of a policymaker in the field of customs, and perhaps one of the heads of the state apparatus.

This profession has many benefits. It is a respectable, respected profession. A special mission is to ensure the security of the country at the borders. Benefits — often customs officers are equated with the military. There are possible supplements to pensions and social benefits.

The main disadvantages are the low level of comfort, average and sometimes frankly low wages, bureaucracy and paperwork, rampant corruption, the highest possible level of responsibility, and constant pressure from people who disregard the law.

Customs is one big family. Customs is a highly demanded specialty. Its popularity can be explained by the confidence of applicants in building a successful career in the future. However, at the start it is difficult to count on comfortable working conditions and high wages. The key qualities necessary for a customs officer are concentration, perseverance, good memory, observation and excellent intuition. It is very important that the specialist be able to make decisions quickly, be as resistant to stress and constant pressure as possible.
