Southern Customs Administration 
The history of Rostov-on-Don dates back to 1749 when Empress 
Elizabeth set up a Customs-house on the Temernik River. It was established to control the trade with Turkey and keep in fear the Don Cossacks.  
The Southern Federal region has a lot of advantages in geographical location because of favourable trade routes. The needs of business 
and trade for fast clearance of import and export traffic have to be considered alongside with the Customs checks of goods and people. 
Nowadays the Southern Customs Administration is one of the 
largest among seven regional Administrations of the Federal Customs 
Service of Russia.  
The Southern Customs Administration was founded in April 20, 
1992. It is responsible for the territory of the Southern and North-Caucasian Federal regions with the total area of 590, 000 square kilometres. 
It borders on Ukraine (in the west), Kazakhstan (in the east), Azerbaijan, Georgia, the Southern Ossetia and Abhasia (in the south) – more 
than 4 000km.  
The structure of the Southern Customs Administration comprises 
13 Customs, 85 Customs posts, 72 Customs checkpoints (among them: 
29 – car terminals; 10 – railway checkpoints, 15 – sea (river) checkpoints, 18 – air checkpoints. In the past years the Southern Customs 
Administration has established an optimal Customs infrastructure. It 
works in coordination with Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other Customs.  
In order to facilitate the flow of passengers and freight, to have 
effective Customs control, and to reduce the amount of lost freight, the 
Southern Customs Administration has introduced up-to-date Customs 
technology:  simplified Customs procedures, electronic and preliminary 
declaration. The Customs officers of the Southern and North-Caucasian 
Federal regions fight against illegal trafficking of drugs, weapons, firearms, explosives, high-value items, jewelleries. 
The higher educational establishment carrying out training of future Customs officers, Rostov Branch of the Russian Customs Academy 

was founded in June 30, 1995. The Academy gives opportunity to master vocational training programmes for students majoring in Customs 
Business, Economics, Management and Law (Jurisprudence). 
 
Exercise 3. Comprehension questions. 
 Why was a Customs-house on the Temernik River established? 
 When was the Southern Customs Administration founded?

 What is the area of responsibility for the Southern Customs 
Administration?
