Best Customs officer

This is Natalia Pushkareva, Customs inspector in Siberia. She has just been declared as the best officer based on a competition on professional competence.

The first stage was held in each custom house of Siberia. The winners got to the final of the contest. Customs officials competed in knowledge of the Customs Code, corrected mistakes in a freight customs declaration. Moreover, the participants had to make a presentation of one's town and custom house.

Natalia Pushkareva, Krasnoyarsk customs inspector, showed her professional skills and talents best of all.

The winner Natalia is a 29 years old economics graduate working with Customs for the last seven years and is currently engaged in the latest customs operation: computer avowal.

Shouldn’t we have some such competition in India?

Until tomorrow with more DDT

Have a nice day.
