Customs Day is celebrated annually worldwide. To commemorate this day, the Jamaica Customs Department has planned a week of activities beginning on Sunday, January 20, under the theme, 'The Fight Against Drug Trafficking'.
The celebrations will end with a customs information fair on January 26, 2008 at the Dump Up Beach in Montego Bay, St. James, starting at 10:00 a.m. The objective of the fair is to promote better relationships and mutual understanding between Customs and our clients.
It will provide a golden opportunity for Jamaicans to interact with over 30 stakeholders from the private and public sector and to learn more about the operations of the Jamaica Customs Department. It will be a family affair with fun provided for the children.
