Pakistan Customs (پاکستان کسٹمز) is one of the elite cadres of the Civil Services of Pakistan. It is staffed by officers from the Pakistan Customs Service (PCS) which is one of the premier occupational groups among Pakistan's civil services.
Previously known as the Customs & Excise Group, it was re-classified as Pakistan Customs Service in November 2010, when the responsibilities of sales tax and federal excise were taken away and a new occupational service was created to collect Sales Tax, Federal Excise, and Income Tax, named as Inland Revenue Service (IRS).
It has given the PCS officers a break to focus on their core function of guarding the nation's borders against smuggling, illegitimate trade, and money laundering. The role of Pakistan Customs Service has been enhanced as a law enforcement agency with focus on border control.
