Thank you for visiting the Sri Lanka Customs Web Site.

There are many reasons that justify the development of a good Web Site for any Customs Administration. Not all of them are quantifiable, but all of them can result in an improvement in the overall performance of the Customs. This is specifically to keep the trade parties informed about the Customs laws, regulations and procedures etc. Although this is at the introductory stage, it is our belief that this Web site is an informative as well as "thought provoking" aid or instrument for all stake holders to benifit from. While collecting the most important revenue to the state, this is an attempt to facilitate the trade and general public with Customs formalities to promote Trade, Travel and Investment in Sri Lanka. Knowledge and awareness about the Customs practices, laws and regulations will undoubtedly boost the collection of duties and taxes while facilitating rapid clearance of goods and passengers. Hence, Sri Lanka Customs invite you to submit your comments and observations towards the improvement of the web site.

Thanking you
