A total of 6.4 billion lira has been allocated from the 2025 budget for combating smuggling at customs. Emphasis will be placed on domestic production in the technical systems used in the fight against smuggling. As monitoring increases, there will be an increase in personnel. Under the Fight Against the Informal Economy program, it was planned to enhance efficiency in combatting smuggling and ensuring public order in customs areas, keeping entries and exits under control to prevent all kinds of misuse. EMPHASIS ON DOMESTIC PRODUCTION It is aimed to improve the integration of control and monitoring mechanisms that prevent the use of legislation and systems for purposes other than their intended ones with high technology systems produced with domestic and national capabilities, such as National Scanning Systems (NATS). In the fight against customs smuggling, especially the increase in the number of detector dogs and handlers, keeping them under world-class training, the continuation of the policy of cooperation with international institutions and organizations was aimed. Efforts to prioritize domestic production in the technical systems used in the fight against smuggling have come to the forefront in the long term. Accordingly, within the scope of the NATS-III Project, it is aimed to produce scanning systems with hybrid technology in the 2025-2027 period, along with semi-fixed, mobile, and stealth systems, as well as the domestic production of artificial intelligence and image sharing network software, accelerators, and detectors. INCREASE IN ANNUAL INSPECTIONS In line with these goals, it was planned to increase the number of detector dogs, which played an effective role in swift searches, from 245 last year to 255 by the end of this year, and maintain the same number next year. The number of data analysis teams specialized in contraband goods is also expected to increase to 33 by the end of the year and to 36 in 2025. The number of technical systems and equipment contributing to the more effective and rapid conduct of the processes of detection and prevention of illegal activities is expected to reach 2,132 by the end of the year. It is aimed to increase this number to 2,150 next year. Weight will also be given to inspections to be carried out within this framework. Accordingly, while 492 annual inspections were conducted in 2023, it is planned to increase this number to 3,700 by the end of 2024. In 2025, 3,800 annual inspections are expected to be conducted. A total of 6,407,209,562 lira has been allocated from the budget of the upcoming year to achieve these goals.
