tollimärgised

Tollimärgised, often translated as customs stamps or marks, are official notations applied to documents or goods to signify that customs duties have been paid or that customs procedures have been completed. These marks serve as proof of compliance with import and export regulations. They can take various forms, including printed stamps, handwritten annotations, or even digital acknowledgments.

Historically, tollimärgised were physical stamps applied directly to cargo manifests, invoices, or the goods themselves. These stamps often bore the insignia of the customs authority, the date, and a unique serial number. Their presence indicated that all necessary inspections, tariffs, and taxes had been settled, allowing the goods to proceed through the customs process.

In modern international trade, the concept of tollimärgised has evolved. While physical stamps are still used in some contexts, digital systems have become increasingly prevalent. Electronic declarations and digital signatures now often replace traditional physical marks. However, the underlying purpose remains the same: to provide an auditable record of customs clearance and revenue collection.

The term tollimärgised can also encompass various seals and labels used for security and identification purposes at borders. These might indicate that a package has been inspected, sealed, or is subject to specific transit rules. The specific appearance and function of tollimärgised can vary significantly depending on the country and the type of goods being processed.
