The PNG Customs Services expects an increase in revenue collections from an aggressive audit campaign and a major debt recovery programme recently launched to identify and collect outstanding debts.
The National newspaper says this follows Customs recording a 5.2 million US dollar surplus for the first quarter ending March 31.
The Commissioner Customs Gary Juffa said in a statement there would also be a stringent review of customs agents.
He said agents who are found to be errant or involved in fraudulent type of activities would be severely dealt with and their licences cancelled and prosecuted for Customs fraud.
