customs agents
Port entry officials
Customs agents are government officials who inspect goods and people crossing international borders.
They enforce laws on imports and exports, checking for contraband, collecting duties, and verifying documentation.
The term covers both those who search luggage at airports and those who investigate smuggling operations: Customs agents seized three tons of cocaine at the port.
