It should be noted that Revenue is a fully integrated tax and customs administration and that it is not possible to disaggregate resources deployed exclusively at any given time on customs. Enforcement strength in ports and airports is augmented with additional personnel on a risk-assessment basis, or when particular operations are taking place against illegal activity. The number of additional resources available to support these border enforcement activities is approximately 130 posts.
