🌍 On International Customs Day (ICD) 2026, #EUCAB reaffirms its commitment to strengthening EU customs cooperation, thus enhancing the essential role of customs administrations in safeguarding Europe’s borders, facilitating legitimate trade, and ensuring the integrity of the EU Single Market.
ICD 2026 is dedicated to “Customs protecting society through vigilance and commitment”. ➡️ Safeguarding society while favouring international trade – this is one of the main missions that EUCAB is striving to achieve.
🛂 Each year, the ICD is an invitation to celebrate the dedication and professionalism of customs officers across Europe, and beyond, who play a vital role in:
✅ Protecting citizens and the environment
✅ Combating illicit trade and fraud
✅ Supporting economic growth and regional integration
✅ Facilitating safe and efficient trade flows
Through collaboration and partnership-building, innovation at the service of operational excellence, and consolidation of a ground-based shared vision of future EU Customs, EUCAB plays its full part in ensuring a secure, transparent and resilient trade environment 🤝.
