Customs officers on holiday
I send a flurry of congratulations,
I wish you control
Didn't weaken.

I wish that the border
You kept it locked
To smuggle
Clearly identified.

Russian customs officer,
To be the shield of the country,
Your excellent service,
To make us proud.

At customs both at night and during the day
They serve Russia without rest.
Always know everything about everything
Giving your country your strength.

I wish you health and happiness,
On the day of the country's customs officer.
Let them go on the side of bad weather,
May rewards be given to you!

It's so easy and simple
Let the customs do all the work!
I wish you growth in your career,
Let life be sweeter than honey!

May all the working days
Only success accompanies!
Let there be money in your wallet,
So that there are no obstacles to your goals!

The customs officer is a wonderful person,
Alas, there is always a great responsibility.
He whiles away his time at work,
Protecting us all with his work.

He is a filter that can not let in
Even a little harm into the country;
Responsible, he won't be able to forgive
And he remains faithful to his work.

We wish him bright days,
Health, sober mind and impartiality;
Growing up in my career so that I can
I didn’t forget that there was danger.

Profession... An ordinary person,
Let his life be unusual at times;
Let the century be full of fun,
And his days pass “excellently”.

The smuggler will not crawl through,
Where you stand, like a falcon, vigilant.
The one whose hand is not clean,
You will be thrown out of customs in disgrace.

Fake product, junk
He won't be able to get into the country, you scammer.
You won't allow evil to happen
I found my price tag at fairs.

The customs officer is a reliable guard
Borders, almost like a border guard,
He's looking at tons of luggage,
He will personally detain the counterfeit goods.

We want to wish you happiness
Today to the customs knight,
Come home and hug your family
And you can drink vodka there!

May fate attract happiness to you,
Your work is so important for society,
Congratulations on Customs Day,
Let problems pass you by,
May everything be peaceful and calm
At customs, in life - only success
Accompanies you, because they are worthy
You will be the most joyful, the happiest of all!
Therefore, let’s not forget health
Wish you love and good luck
Everything was resolved easily, not difficult,
May good luck always await you!

Federation Customs Service,
Today is your holiday and your service.
Responsible, so dangerous at times
And we all really need it infinitely!

Thank you for your service and dedication
To your colleagues, loved ones and oath.
Let everything be in order at customs,
There will be fewer vile bastards.

Today all the words and wishes
They sound at your address at your native customs.
I wish you success, love and prosperity,
Your motto: “If not us, then who will.”

We wish our customs,
Work as a friendly team.
So as not to be taken across the border
Bad people smuggle.

Peace of mind at work
So that it would be. Quietly and without controversy.
And there would be no complaints at all,
Only gratitude, no reproaches.

No smuggling
It won't go abroad
After all, customs are expensive
He carries out his service reverently.

Happy Customs Day
And we wish you to continue
Be more careful at work
And look more carefully.

No one can escape your gaze
Feel free to check your luggage and documents.
Everyone here will pass the inspection in order,
After all, our customs looks skillfully!

The country is calm today with you,
This profession is held in high esteem!
And we’ll all drink together, of course, to the bottom,
We wish you good luck in difficult work!

Customs Officer's Day in 2018 is celebrated, as it has been for many years in a row, on October 25. It is interesting that this holiday is old and does not have its roots in the USSR, like many professional days, and also from Tsarist Russia. But, let's try to figure everything out in order.

At the very beginning of this material, I would, of course, like to say how important the work of customs officers is for our huge country. People of this profession protect the financial as well as economic interests of the Russian Federation. They are on duty 24 hours a day and are responsible for all trade turnover in the country. We need to ensure that counterfeit goods do not enter our territories. Becoming a customs officer is quite difficult; it requires endurance and qualifications, patience and attentiveness.

Customs officers, in addition to the duties already described, are also responsible for
protection of the country's state borders. Coordinated work of the customs service with neighboring states helps stop drug dealers, smugglers, and arms suppliers. Representatives of this profession make their contribution to the fight against international terrorism. In honor of the holiday, you can cook.

When and why is Customs Officer's Day celebrated?

Customs Officer's Day in 2018, what date is this holiday celebrated in Russia? The holiday falls on October 25 and, on the one hand, it is quite young in our country. But on the other hand, the established date of the holiday returns to 1653. That is, the holiday connects the past, present and, one can safely say, the future of a large country.

The fact is that it was in 1653 on October 25th Russian Empire The Unified Customs Charter was signed. From now on, according to this charter, customs duties were collected in the capital of the Empire and other cities.

Important! It should also be noted that there is a professional holiday dedicated to customs, which is celebrated on May 29. But on a spring day, they pay respect specifically to the veterans of the customs service, and not to all its employees.

There is also a holiday called International Customs Day. In many countries around the world it is celebrated on January 26 every year. The World Customs Organization was created only in 1953. Representatives of 17 customs services of European countries became its participants. It was this federation, three decades later, in 1983, that set the date for celebrating International Customs Day on January 26. Today, about 900,000 people around the world celebrate this holiday. But in Russia, let us emphasize this again, exactly 25.10 is the date on which Customs Officer Day is celebrated.

Interesting! As noted above, the beginning of the customs service in our country dates back to the 17th century. The emergence of this service played a big role in the development of customs control in the territories of our country. Over time, the service was constantly transformed and reorganized.

How to celebrate?

We have definitely established that Customs Officer's Day in 2018 in Russia is celebrated on October 25. This is the last Sunday of the second summer month, when you must congratulate all your friends who work in the customs authorities. On any festive table relevant.

As for the customs officers themselves, they love this holiday and definitely get together. Everyone celebrates it: junior officers, lieutenant colonels and even generals. Of course, the family of customs officers, their close people and friends join in the celebration and special events.

Many people associate the customs service only with control over imported goods. But this is not the only thing that representatives of this profession do. They increase the economic level of the country, create the right conditions to attract investment, they replenish the federal budget and, at the same time, are defenders of domestic producers.

Among the many official holidays in Russia, there are several that are truly important not only for society, but also for the country. These include Russian customs day, which border service workers celebrate annually the 25th of October.

Customs Officer's Day: non-random choice of date

The choice of this particular date is tied to the distant past and is mentioned several times in the history of the customs service:

1. For the first time, October 25 was marked by the appearance of the Unified Customs Charter during the time of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich. The decree of the head of state clearly outlined the scope of activity of the customs service - protecting the interests of the country.
2. The second mention of the date dates back to 1991, when, by decree of the first President of Russia Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin, the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation was created.
3. For the third time, October 25 turned into an official holiday of the customs service (customs officer’s day) in 1995, already by order of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin.

In other words, the date of celebration of Customs Officer's Day in Russia has a solid basis. But the holiday itself can be considered relatively young: Customs Day 2018 will only be twenty-first

Not an easy service

The direct responsibility of the profession is the comprehensive protection of the country, which consists of maintaining economic interests, protecting against terrorism, illegal import of prohibited goods, illegal border crossings and, in general, anything that can harm the state system. Therefore, the customs service is of great importance for any country, and especially its employees who tirelessly monitor border processes. The main qualities of customs officers include responsibility, vigilance, high reaction speed, ability to make quick decisions, diligence, law-abidingness, willpower and many others.

How is the holiday celebrated?

The day of the customs officer of the Russian Federation always takes place on a grand scale. The date is celebrated not only by current employees, but also by the entire team, and banquets with entertainment events are organized. The state, whose peace and well-being is monitored by customs officers, does not stand aside either. Distinguished employees are solemnly presented with memorable awards, titles and cash bonuses. All this not only inspires representatives of the profession to carry out further service, but also shows the real importance of experience and professionalism.

On the day of the Russian customs officer, no one is forgotten

But October 25 is a significant date for veterans of the customs service. The state, and even more so former colleagues, do not forget to congratulate those who have already left their jobs and retired, passing on their rich experience to the younger generation. A separate date has already been allocated for honoring customs veterans - May 29, but October 25 does not bypass them either. Therefore, we can safely say that these people celebrate two professional holidays a year.
