Yes, and it is a substantial move. A non-vessel operating common carrier already covers 24% of what a customs and excise officer is expected to do: 5 skills carry over, 4 of which the customs and excise officer role treats as required.

8 required skills are missing, plus 17 optional ones. They fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by business, administration and law. The single most important is import export regulations of dangerous chemicals.

Its learning distance is 70.1 out of 100, which is the substantial band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
