In a statement, the Customs Service confirmed that its office in the Greater Malé Region will remain operational to handle the issuance and clearance of goods. This move ensures that import and export processes, which are critical to trade and commerce, will not be disrupted during the national festivities.

The services available during this period will include:

• Issuance and Clearance of Goods: Facilitating the processing and release of goods.
• Vehicle Clearances: Managing the customs procedures for vehicles.
