Welcome to the Slovak page on ECSA website.

The Slovak Customs Administration was formed in the year 1992 and it is organized under the Ministry of Finance. What is the mission of our administration?

The Slovak Customs Administration carries out surveillance over the observance of laws, regulations, other generally binding legal regulations and international agreements that secure the implementation of business, financial and agricultural policy in circulation of goods and provides conditions for facilitation of legal trade and security of supply chain. It includes dealing with the customs policy, formalities, tariffs, customs value, nomenclature classification of goods, origin of goods, statistics of trade with the third countries as well as within the European Union, collecting and administering indirect taxes, fight against commercial frauds and protection of intellectual property rights.

European Customs Administrations go under modernization project what should increase efficiency and simplify the procedures. The initiative of e-Customs counts with electronic exchange of information by applying save compatible IT systems to eliminate customs paper documents. To be able to meet on global level all these challenges facing the customs world in coming years 27 national customs administrations can not operate in isolation. They have to collaborate on the basis of uniform European policy and uniform legislative structure which represents Customs Code of the Community.
