VII. Render the following text in English.
В соответствии с торговыми соглашениями, в ряде японских портов были основаны первые таможни в целях развития внешней торговли. С открытием страны, правительство стало проводить жесткую политику модернизации. Внешняя торговля стала быстро развиваться после окончания русско-японской войны. Заключение договора с Великобританией о торговле и навигации ускорило процесс пересмотра ряда несправедливых торговых соглашений. К 1911 году была восстановлена самостоятельность таможенной службы в области начисления и сбора таможенных пошлин, что привело к постепенной консолидации таможенной системы.
В настоящее время Япония разделена на 9 таможенных округов. Японская таможенная служба насчитывает 8713 сотрудников. Главный таможенный орган – Бюро по таможенным пошлинам и тарифам, являющееся департаментом министерства финансов Японии. В зону ответственности департамента входит планирование таможенных пошлин, тоннажных сборов, специальных тоннажных сборов; начисление и сбор таможенных пошлин, тоннажных налогов, потребительских налогов; контроль за импортом и экспортом товаров, транспортных средств, судов; контроль за деятельностью таможенных брокеров; обработка морских и авиационных грузов; ведение статистики внешней торговли.
Японская таможенная служба имеет три основные функции: начисление и сбор пошлин; контроль за перемещением товаров через таможенную границу, предотвращение контрабанды наркотиков, оружия, боеприпасов; упрощение внешней торговли.
