However, it should be noted that the commitment of the officials and of the Office was certainly never limited to management of the Covid emergencyeven in the toughest years of the pandemic, since the trade flows of all the other goods necessary for industrial production and those of the agri-food chain continued and were managed without penalizing the economic operators of these sectors.
2022 was a year of comforting and impetuous recovery of trade and, therefore, of customs activity. Particular effort has therefore been made by the officials in the controls of the “e-commerce” chains, which has found ample space to increase the already important market share acquired in the recent past; controls made necessary for the protection of consumer health, the genuineness of products with a controlled supply chain, Made in Italy and, lastly, to ensure fairness, legitimacy and a level playing field in the internal market for all national and non-national operators. Controls that have originated, being aimed at the protection of the market and consumers and above all of honest and serious economic operators, the following impact.

The results which, from the point of view of facilitating economic activities, can be most appreciated are:

– 450 authorizations/operating licenses/transfers issued in the excise sector;

– no complaints made by users;
– the total refunds paid by the Rome 1 Customs Office amounted to 13,726,940.50 million euros.
