Tasks: customs and excise, and more
While the precise balance can change over time, customs and
excise-related tasks still represent the main area of activity of
the customs laboratories, accounting on average for about
three quarters of their work. The average hides wide variations
between the Member States. In some countries almost 100% of
the laboratories’ activities are dedicated to customs and excise
issues, while in several countries customs and excise tasks are
not the most signifi cant area, in some cases accounting for
a very small proportion of the work. Along with traditional
customs and excise tasks like tariff nomenclature, tax provisions
and the Common Agricultural Policy, customs laboratories deal
with a wide range of areas including narcotics and psychotropic
drugs, product quality and fraud detection, consumer health,
environment and safety issues (see also pp. 8-12).
