The Custom House in Bristol was the building formally used for collecting customs duties on foreign trade when entering or leaving the port. The location of this building within Bristol varied over the centuries. The building now known as the 'Custom House' dates from 1836 and is located on Queen Square. Goods are no longer declared in the city itself, since the Port of Bristol has now moved entirely down to Avonmouth Docks, on the Severn Estuary.
