60% of the national treasury income enters through the customs gate, which is certainly considered an excellent contribution as the country is witnessing a bitter war.

Customs has been able to create smart partnerships with various international economic institutions, such as the World Trade Organization and other regional organizations working in the field of global trade.
Compared to international customs institutions, Sudanese customs needs considerable efforts to catch up with the train of development that is accelerating 24 hours a day, and this can only be achieved by adopting a clear vision of the future.
The militarization of customs was one of the bad decisions that needs to be reconsidered, because customs work is, by nature, a purely civilian job that requires great freedom in light of the open world.
Customs is the beating heart of the national economy. This requires its development and strengthening because it constitutes one of the country's achievements in the economic sector.
