กรม means a government department or bureau, and ศุลกากร relates to customs and duties. Together, กรมศุลกากร means the official Customs Department. Since it names an organization, use เจ้าหน้าที่ศุลกากร or เจ้าหน้าที่กรมศุลกากร when referring to customs officers.

Usage

It is commonly used in contexts such as import-export business, airport or port customs clearance, payment of duties, baggage inspections, anti-smuggling enforcement, government announcements, news, and official websites.
