Every year, January 26th is celebrated as Customs Day in Pakistan—a day to recognize the immense contribution of customs in driving the country’s economic growth. The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) takes charge of organizing meaningful events and activities to mark this special occasion.
Why Customs Matters
Customs isn’t just about taxes—it’s about keeping the country running smoothly. From collecting revenue and enforcing trade laws to protecting national security, customs plays a vital role in Pakistan. It ensures legal trade thrives, generates much-needed funds for development, and fights smuggling and illegal activities that harm the economy.
How We Celebrate Customs Day
Customs Day is all about appreciation and awareness. The FBR arranges several events to highlight the efforts of customs officials and educate the public, including:
Flag-raising ceremonies
