Its effectiveness was checked and confirmed on March 19 by Radu Vrabie, director of the Customs Service.
A high-performance mobile scanner was recently installed here, representing a concrete step towards digitalization and optimization of border control processes.
The project involves the commissioning of two specialized stations in the Customs Service’s Video Surveillance Center, which allow for real-time analysis of images obtained during the scanning of vehicles. Thus, in addition to the controls performed at the point, the images are additionally checked by specialized operators who compare the scanning data with the information available in institutional systems and with the results of risk analysis.
This approach provides an additional level of security and accuracy to Customs controls, facilitating faster detection of potential irregularities and reducing the risks associated with fraud and smuggling attempts. At the same time, this mechanism allows for a more rapid response in risky situations, including when discrepancies between declared data and actual cargo contents are detected.
In the future, the system will be extended to all customs posts equipped with scanners and integrated into a modern control concept based on the use of information technology, data analysis and real-time monitoring. Customs officers will exercise remote control while utilizing images from scanning and video surveillance, as well as data generated by the institution’s information systems.
