According to the agency's press office, the study on the duration of customs clearance will be conducted as part of the Time Release Study. Over the course of five days, specialists will measure the actual time taken to complete all stages of inspection—from the moment goods arrive in the customs control zone until their release. The data collected will help identify operational delays and determine opportunities to reduce processing times, streamline formalities, and facilitate trade. Participants in the study will include employees of the Customs Service, the National Agency for Food Safety, the General Inspectorate of the Border Police, and business representatives. Preparations for the study began on October 9 at the first meeting of the interagency working group, where the schedule of activities, participants' responsibilities, and the data collection questionnaire were agreed upon. // 23.10.2026 — InfoMarket.
