It seems like there was some cross copying on the wiki. 
There is another, older key, amenity=customs, which is actually used at border 
crossings (from what I’ve seen) to denote customs control. 
I am not sure why the amenity tag was deprecated (it also seems to be used more 
often than the office tag). A customs office is not necessarily a place where 
such control can be carried out and surely should be distinguished?
