Being a customs officer you will frequently deal
with the public. Generally, the “public” we serve
are passengers, traders, ship and aircraft crews,
shipping agents, etc. These people will classify
anything that you do or say to them as typical
for the Customs Service. You have, therefore, to
meet certain standards of behavior and
appearance.
As far as behavior is concerned, the code known
as “Seven C’s”, is worth bearing in mind.
