Day of the customs officer. History

The trade fee, as a rule, was collected by members of the prince's squad, who were otherwise called "Mutniki". Of course, in ancient Russia, all customs duties were divided conditionally into carriageways and trade. Moreover, for the transfer of goods through internal or external outposts, there was also a charge for washing. For example, a "dry" wash was intended for crossing overland, and "water", therefore, for transportation by water.

In 1868, the so-called Sea cruising was created. Its main purpose was to strengthen the maritime border throughout the Baltic Sea. Later, in 1872, the so-called customs flotilla was founded on the same territory. In 1893, the border guards were withdrawn from the financing of the Department of Customs Fees.

In 1912, the last planned reform of the customs structure in tsarist Russia was approved . After the adoption of the corresponding decree of the Council of People's Commissars, which mainly dealt with the nationalization of the entire foreign trade, a decision was taken to establish border guards.

As for our country, serious changes in this area began to occur after 1991, when the official Customs Code of the USSR was adopted

It should be noted that the Day of the Customs Officer of the Russian Federation is a relatively young holiday, which was officially proclaimed after the collapse of the USSR.

Today, veterans of the customs service are honored on this day.

According to specialists, Yeltsin's decision was not at all random. The thing is that on October 25, far 1653, the so-called Single Customs Regulations appeared in our country, which came from the pen of Alexey Romanov.

Throughout the world, as already noted above, the Day of the customs officer is celebrated on January 26. This date is primarily connected with the establishment of the first meeting of the Customs Cooperation Council on the territory of Brussels (January 26, 1953).

The World Customs Organization is currently consolidating 179 states, including our country, under its own control. It is worth noting that the Russian Federation is directly an honorary member of this organization for several decades. Thanks to close cooperation and well-coordinated work of this structure, Russia managed to achieve gradual strengthening of international cooperation, as well as interaction with foreign customs organizations.
