customs 🛃 - OzVoca Emoji Details
customs
The 🛃 emoji symbolizes the customs area at an airport. It's the place where travelers' luggage is inspected to check for items that need to be declared.
It's a place you pass through when entering a country after traveling abroad, bringing to mind the question, "Anything to declare at customs?" It's also used jokingly when you've bought a lot of duty-free items.
While passport control (🛂) deals with people, customs (🛃) deals with goods. It visually represents the important procedure of managing the movement of items between countries.
Even outside of an airport, it can be used metaphorically when someone meticulously inspects your belongings. You could use it to humorously describe a parent's strict check, like, "My mom inspecting my bag is just like going through 🛃."
