It concerns checks relating to fiscal measures, such as collection of customs duties, VAT, etcetera, and non-fiscal measures. The non-fiscal measures are included, among others, in the "safety and security" framework. As a gatekeeper of the external borders of the European Union, Customs ensure that the imported, exported or transiting goods comply with national, European or international regulations regarding prohibitive and restrictive measures. Customs perform a real "stop function" in order to set up such controls and thereby cooperate closely with the authorities responsible for these specific measures.
