According to L'Album 2000 [pay00]
– Customs Ensign (---/-S- 2:3) – Blue enisgn with the national
bicolour in the canton and yellow caducees (winged staff with two
serpents) in lower fly.
I used the pattern of the caducees from the Ministry Emblem on by Jaume Olle. The embem used
in Album is somewhat slightly idfferent artisticaly. I don't know
if the difference is significan.

According to Album 1990's issue Corr. 29 [pay97b] – Customs Ensign – Blue
Ensign with the national flag with simplified coat of arms in its
midde in the canton defaced with a yellow Caducee in fly. As no
image of Caducees is given, I show it as in 2000 series.
Note on the page says for this flag to be unconfirmed, especially
inclusion of CoA is questionable.

The head of customs. Oak leaves are still there with
medical staff symbol in the center. The background is green
in 1:1 ratio. The fringe is gold. Introduced in 2001,
date unknown.
Zachary Harden, 17 November 2001
It is not a medical staff, but Mercury staff, as see by the
wings in the upper part – the symbol of trade and merchant-craft,
consequently in many places also became the symbol of such
services that have supervision on trade – customs and taxation
services and like.
