Which of the following describes the three primary objectives of customs administration?

Revenue collection, border protection (security/compliance), and facilitation of legitimate trade.

The central aim of customs administration is to secure revenue, protect borders, and facilitate legitimate trade. Collecting duties and taxes on imports provides the funding governments need for public services. Border protection involves enforcing laws, screening for unsafe or illegal goods, and ensuring compliance to maintain security and prevent smuggling. Facilitating legitimate trade focuses on reducing unnecessary delays, simplifying procedures, and helping compliant traders move goods efficiently while still upholding rules. These three aspects together reflect the balanced role of customs in revenue, security, and smoother international commerce. The other options mix in activities or policy goals that aren’t the overarching mission of customs—for example, tariff negotiations or currency stabilization are broader policy functions, and public health surveillance or product labeling are specialized regulatory tasks, not the primary trio.

Tariff negotiation, customs audits, and product labeling.

Export promotion, currency stabilization, and import licensing.

Public health surveillance, food safety inspections, and environmental monitoring.
