Published Date: December 2024
The Customs Department of the Republic of Lithuania (CDRL) plays a crucial role in combating counterfeit and transnational crimes by enforcing trade and customs regulations. In recent years, the agency has introduced initiatives aimed at promoting transparency and enhancing international cooperation. These initiatives include the publication of a detailed customs tariff handbook, the creation of an online portal for customs declarations, and the establishment of a customs hotline to address concerns. The CDRL also works closely with international bodies, such as the World Customs Organization (WCO), to improve its strategies for tackling cross-border crime.
In addition to its international efforts, the CDRL has taken significant steps to ensure sustainable development. By implementing a paperless clearance system, reducing energy consumption, and introducing green customs initiatives, the agency demonstrates its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint. Furthermore, the department continues to strengthen legal frameworks and improve trade facilitation through modern technologies and a risk-based approach to customs clearance.
