Sri Lanka Customs Surpasses LKR 1 Trillion Revenue Milestone Ahead of Schedule

Sri Lanka Customs has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing LKR 1 trillion in revenue collection for 2026. This historic achievement was reportedly reached on April 12, well before the mid-year mark. By April 16, the department had recorded LKR 765.7 billion in revenue, exceeding the target for that period by LKR 71.8 billion. Officials suggest that an increase in re-export cargo, potentially linked to the Middle East crisis, has contributed to this surge. The department's performance underscores its role in meeting the government's revenue objectives.
