About ACD

About US:

The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan has recognized that after over twenty-five years of war and civil strife there is now an enormous need for the reconstruction of infrastructure and the provision of basic services to the people of Afghanistan. Therefore, it has an obligation to raise the current level of revenue collected by the Afghan Customs, given the scale of the trade volume and its potential for revenue maximization. Additionally, it has recognized that modernized Customs departments worldwide serve as a tool to facilitate trade and business to encourage investment and are designed to make a major contribution to the creation of a beneficial economic and social development, environment.

Message from Deputy Minister | Custom and Revenues:

I feel honoured to be part of the International Customs community on this day. It is not very long ago that I joined this esteemed fraternity but the more time I spend with the organization the more I feel impressed with the immense knowledge and specialization that is required to become a good customs professional. The Mission of the Afghan Customs Department is to be ‘A well integrated, efficient organization collecting optimum customs duties and revenues with a focus on trade facilitation’, although this evolving organization is just a few years old; I have no option but to appreciate them.

Message from Director General | Afghan Customs:

I believe the success of any customs organization depends heavily upon the implementation of professionally designed policies and their international compatibility. This becomes all the more clear as one realizes the roles of customs internationally, these spread over ‘customs to customs’, ‘customs to business’ and ‘business to business’. Keeping this in mind the national leadership supported the Afghan Customs Department in its reform and modernization initiative and today I am proud to state that we have come a long way from where we started. Today being the international customs day is an occasion when I feel it my duty to give you an overview of our organization and its endeavors.
