Welcome to Customs Collector!

13 December 2024

I'd just like to send a welcome to Patrick Balas from Germany.

Patrick is a fellow Customs Officer who recently made contact. Patrick has his own website of Customs insignia from around the world - www.customspatches.com - which I can definitely recommend for a visit.

To all my colleages from around the world - Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all for 2024!

Another area of interest of mine, aside from Customs Insignia, has always been identifying new and innovative means of enforcing border related legislation. To that end, I had the priveledge of being published in the World Customs Journal with an innovation idea related to the use of geographic information systems to identify border related criminal activity.

Customs Collector is dedicated to Customs Officers and to collectors of Customs Insignia. This site contains images and information of Customs insignia / badges and pins from 191 nations around the globe.

If you have images of insignia not represented on this site, either consider sending me an email with the insignia and information attached for me to publish, or else consider joining and contributing to the collection yourself.
