The message reads, in part:

“For many years, the Federal Customs Service has made a significant contribution to ensuring economic security and to protecting the country’s national interests. The Service plays a significant role in replenishing the federal budget and creating favourable conditions for business.

I would stress that today, as always, the work of the customs agencies requires the highest competence, adherence to principles, personal integrity, and the ability to adequately resolve the assigned tasks. It is important that in the face of unprecedented external pressure, you tirelessly improve the forms and methods of your activity, introduce digital technology and electronic services, and strive to make the customs service a dynamically developing and modern agency.

I am convinced that you will continue to act firmly and resolutely, to clearly fulfil your professional duty, to preserve the best traditions of the Service’s veterans, and to honestly serve the Fatherland.”
