CBCTI was established in 1977 as a training agency for customs personnel. It also trains detection dogs.
CBCTI was recognized for its excellence as a training institute for government officials for nine consecutive years.
Since 2009, the institute has run various training courses for capacity-building of customs officials from around the world. In 2010, the institute was designated as the World Customs Organization's training center for the Asia-Pacific region.
It has transferred its customs administration know-how to 1,613 officials from institutes of 112 countries.
"I will develop the CBCTI into the best training institute for civil servants, by strengthening its research capabilities and training for management positions," Cho said.
