[Tagging] Inland customs offices

Hey everyone,

I've just noticed that the wiki at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:government%3Dcustoms defines a
customs building as "A structure near or at an international boundary where
travelers and vehicles crossing the border are inspected."

Customs controls however take place inland, also, e.g. at river ports or in
bigger commercial areas. There, lorries or containes pass customs control
and are then sealed by the customs officials and may thus pass a border
without further inspection of the content.

I propose that inland customs facilities be tagged as government=customs,
too, and the wiki be modified accordingly.

Best,
Jan
