In addition to airports, which other type is designated as a Custom Place by the Minister?

• A. Customs Ports
• B. Customs Markets
• C. Customs Warehouses
• D. Customs Offices

Answer: (A)

Custom Places are locations designated by the Minister where customs officers have authority to inspect goods, verify documents, and collect duties at points of entry. Airports are one such place, and the other type designated is a seaport—Customs Ports—where goods arriving by sea are brought under customs control. Markets are not entry points for customs control, and while warehouses and offices are genuine parts of the customs system, they serve storage or administrative functions rather than being designated entry points like a Customs Place. So, the correct designation is Customs Ports.
