The General Directorate of Customs ({{langx|ar|المديرية العامة للجمارك|al-mudiriat al-amat liljamarik}}) is a Syrian law enforcement agency responsible for controlling international transports to the country, checking goods and passenger movements, and enforcing laws that prevent economical losses due to smuggling offenses. It was established in December 2024 by the Syrian transitional government.

On 18 December 2024, the General Customs Directorate issued a decision, signed by its new Director General, Qutaiba Ahmed Badawi to dissolve the customs police in Syria with all its names and formations, to be reconstituted later in a manner that “serves the public interest".{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=25 December 2024 |title=الجمارك السورية تستبدل مديرين للمنافذ الحدودية |url=https://www.enabbaladi.net/730914/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%83-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D8%AA%D8%B3%D8%AA%D8%A8%D8%AF%D9%84-%D9%85%D8%AF%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86-%D9%84%D9%84%D9%85%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%81/ |access-date=30 December 2024 |website=عنب بلدي}}
