The General Administration of Customs (AGD) collected 11.5 billion gourdes in October 2026, compared to 11.3 billion at the same time the previous year, representing an increase of 1.75%. According to the institution, this result is the highest collection level ever recorded for the month of October. "This progression, however, occurs in a context marked by a significant decrease in revenue from petroleum products, which have dropped by 72.7% over the past year," reads the report on customs perceptions on imports for October 2026, available on the AGD website.

The AGD reports total revenue of exactly 11 billion 500 million 444 thousand 274 gourdes and 73 cents, compared to 11 billion 302 million 532 thousand 300 gourdes and 94 cents in October 2025. "The increase represents an additional 197.9 million gourdes. Despite this progression, the institution did not meet its monthly revenue target, set at 13.2 billion gourdes. The realization rate stood at 87.06%, leaving a deficit of 1.7 billion gourdes compared to projections," specifies the document consulted by the newspaper on Tuesday, November 3.
