Originating in 1953, the day is marked under the World Customs Organization, which has 183 member countries. The 2026 theme, “Customs protecting society through vigilance and commitment,” underscores the growing challenges of cross-border crime and complex supply chains. The observance highlights customs officials as key defenders of national security, public safety, and fair trade.
