Presentation by Anikeev Vladimir

Customs and Global Smuggling
Smuggling is one of the key challenges of globalization.
International criminal networks transport illegal goods such as drugs,
weapons, and counterfeit products across borders.
Customs authorities play a critical role in detecting, preventing, and
prosecuting these crimes.

3.

Methods and Technologies Used by Customs
Customs officers use modern technologies and intelligence-based systems
to detect contraband:
• X-ray scanners and chemical analyzers
• Risk analysis databases
• Cooperation with international organizations such as Interpol and WCO
• Specially trained K9 units and rapid response teams

4.

Successful Operations and Results
Every year, customs authorities seize thousands of tons of illegal goods worldwide:
• Drugs and psychotropic substances
• Firearms and ammunition
• Counterfeit products and untaxed goods
These operations protect public safety and national economies.
