Tolliametiga

Tolliametiga is the comitative form of Tolliamet, the Estonian government agency responsible for customs. The term is used in Estonian to express “with the Customs Authority” and appears in official language to indicate cooperation, joint action, or involvement of the agency in a process.

Formation and grammar: Tolliametiga is created by adding the comitative suffix -ga to Tolliamet. It is not a separate organization; rather, it is a grammatical form used to show accompaniment or association in sentences such as koostöös Tolliametiga, meaning “in cooperation with the Customs Authority.”

Usage: Tolliametiga commonly occurs in formal documents, contracts, policy texts, press releases, and regulatory notices where the Customs Authority is cited as a partner, contributor, or supervisory body. Its use helps clarify the relationship between parties and the involvement of the agency in a given action or decision.

Notes: Understanding Tolliametiga aids reading of official Estonian texts by showing how authorities are referenced as participants in procedures or regulations. It is an example of how Estonian uses comitative forms to express collaboration without repeating the agency’s full name.
