The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) says it has introduced official identification badges for Customs Officers assigned to Customs, Excise and Trade Operations. The authority presents the change as an update to officers’ professional attire and a new element for identifying staff in the field.
Both outlets report that Customs badges have been part of the profession before and were previously included as part of the uniform. The GRA’s statement emphasizes continuity with past practice, while describing the current initiative as an addition in the form of official identification badges.
While both sources focus on the same announcement, they differ only in minor wording and formatting. Neither outlet provides additional details such as the badge design, rollout timeline, or specific rules for use; instead, they relay the GRA’s general rationale for the badges and their placement within officers’ responsibilities.
