To develop customer-focused customs administration, improve control efficiency, and strengthen civil service standards, the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan summarized the results of the annual "Best Customs Post" campaign.
The evaluation was conducted according to the criteria approved by Order No. 1059 of the State Revenue Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated October 28, 2025. Key performance indicators were taken into account during the selection process: compliance with customs control deadlines, average declaration processing time, average customs value dynamics, and other parameters reflecting the quality, transparency, and effectiveness of operations.
        The 2025 winners were:
• Best Air Customs Post – Zhetysu;
• Best Rail Customs Post – Altynkol;
• Best Road Customs Post – Alakol;
• Best Domestic Customs Post – Oskemen Customs Office.
       These nominations reflect the specifics of various areas of customs administration and encourage further improvement in the quality of work in each of them. In addition to the main categories, the State Revenue Committee presented special nominations for digital initiatives, innovative approaches, service solutions, and contributions to socially significant projects. Both entire teams and individual employees who demonstrated outstanding professional skills were recognized.
Special recognition was given to specialists from the Temir-Baba and Nur Zholy customs posts for their significant contribution to economic security, including preventing the illegal export of excisable goods, rare metals, and cultural valuables.
       Also recognized were internal customs posts contributing to the positive image of state revenue agencies, and the specialized Aktobe post for its active development of international cooperation within the EAEU.
A separate nomination, "Women – the Pride of Customs," was dedicated to female customs officers, recognizing their long-standing professionalism and significant personal contributions.
       This awards format highlights both the individual achievements of specialists and the overall progress of the customs administration system. It should be noted that in 2025, thanks to measures implemented by the State Revenue Committee, the number of processed goods declarations increased by 10%, cargo flow by 13%, and transit by 22%. Total customs duties and taxes increased by 566 billion tenge. External border throughput capacity increased by 2.5 times, and the overall flow of vehicles through checkpoints increased by another 18%. Average vehicle transit time was reduced from 9 hours to 30 minutes.
       The results of the "Best Customs Post" campaign confirm the commitment of the State Revenue Committee's territorial divisions to development, innovation, and continuous improvement.
