Indeed. I don't think amenity would fit for customs offices either. Police offices are already somewhat difficult to qualify as amenities, but you can put them under no 4. A customs office however doesn't serve the community in the same way, so it shouldn't be an amenity. But independently from that, we agree that there's no reason to make a difference between customs offices at borders or at other places, as long as they control goods? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
