    Hi Gungun,
    Customs Officers have a very important job: to ensure that people who enter or exit the country do so legally, and that they don't bring anything in or take anything out that they shouldn't.
    -Checking paperwork to make sure they're authorized to enter or exit the country. -Inspect possessions to ensure they're not bringing prohibited items into the area.
    -You look for contraband, such as drugs or weapons, as well as items that are subject to tax, such as fine art.
    -If you work at a sea port, you check the cargo roster for large ships, and ensure that the cargo hold does contain what the piece of paper says it should.
