The German Customs Administration (CUSTOMS) has welcomed 39 new recruits at the Main Customs Office Bielefeld, marking the start of their middle service training. This two-year program leads to the professional title of tax administrator and offers a secure job with diverse tasks, contributing to tax revenues, consumer protection, and administrative digitization.
