customs'
Import duty checkpoint
Customs' is the possessive form of customs, typically referring to the government agency that regulates goods entering a country.
It appears before nouns the agency controls or owns: customs' regulations, customs' authority, the customs' office was closed.
The apostrophe follows the s because customs, though plural in form, functions as a singular entity.
