While the first one focused mainly on the combat against drug smuggling, the latest one takes into account the key factors influencing customs inspections and procedures of today, i.e. current violations of customs legislation, especially the traffic with prohibited contents and narcotics, counterfeit money laundering as well as violations of intellectual property rights. Postal flows have namely changed in the meantime, transforming also the customs methods of shipment content control and supervision.
The renewed MOU thus defines common and specific objectives of the two involved institutions. The Customs Administration is mainly aiming at increased efficiency and effectiveness of the collection of duties, at trade facilitations as well as safety and security. Slovenia Post’s goal, on the other hand, is to provide affordable and reliable postal services through smooth flow of mail and the use of advanced technologies.
