YOGYAKARTA \u2014 Over a two-week period in October, Yogyakarta Customs\nand Excise hosted industrial visits by students from SMK Bhumi Phala\nParakan and SMK Negeri 1 Lamongan. The agency also welcomed students\nfrom Darussalam Gontor University for an academic study visit. The\nactivities provided an opportunity for students to learn more about the\nduties and functions of Customs and Excise, particularly its role in\noversight and services that support the national economy.<\/p>\n
SMK Bhumi Phala Parakan visited the Yogyakarta Customs and Excise\nOffice on Wednesday, 7 October 2026. The programme was followed by an\nindustrial visit from SMK Negeri 1 Lamongan on Wednesday, 14 October,\nand an academic study visit by Darussalam Gontor University on Monday,\n19 October.<\/p>\n
During the visits, students were introduced to Customs and Excise\u2019s\nfour main roles: collecting state revenue, protecting the public from\ndangerous and illegal goods, facilitating export and import activities,\nand supporting the development of domestic industry.<\/p>\n
As well as learning about the agency\u2019s main duties and functions, the\nstudents were given an overview of its day-to-day work. They were also\nintroduced to challenges faced in the field, including increasingly\nvaried methods of smuggling and legal violations.<\/p>\n
These conditions require effective oversight, as well as assistance\nand strong coordination with relevant agencies and the public. At the\nsame time, services for the public and businesses need to be continually\nimproved so that customs and excise activities can run smoothly.<\/p>\n
Riri Riani, Head of the Information Services and Outreach Section at\nYogyakarta Customs and Excise, said public education was an important\npart of improving understanding of customs and excise. Information\npresented in an accessible way, she said, could help the public learn\nabout the agency\u2019s duties and functions and understand the applicable\nregulations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope these activities will create opportunities for young people\nto understand how customs and excise contribute to the economy and state\nrevenue, while also building understanding and awareness of customs and\nexcise regulations from an early age,\u201d Riri said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/yogyakarta-customs-and-excise-hosts-student-visits-1793163158", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
