What you should know: Even before you start your first raid on the Tarkov Customs map, you should consider some important information:
- A raid lasts a maximum of 45 minutes
- Since update 12.9 there are a maximum of 13 players on the map
- The map was enlarged with Update 12.7.
Here you start: Each map in Escape From Tarkov has different spawns, which can vary at each start. On the Tarkov Map Customs, you over all have 22 spawns. These are spread over the west and east of the map. So you never start in the middle of the map. The yellow arrows on the following picture represent the spawns.
Orientation points on Customs: If you start between many small garages on a large truck yard with a red warehouse or directly in front of a river, then you are in the west of the map.
If, however, you only see trees, rocks, and meadows, you are in the north-east of Customs. If you start inside the factory premises, you should wake up in a hall or see nothing more than a few silos and brick buildings. You can use the following points of orientation:
- the bridge over the river (west-east connection)
- the main street with gas station & bus station
- large silos lurking on scav snipers
- Dorms that are cut off in the north
- A road blockade to the west of the map
- Garage collection in the east of the map

Important loot spots for beginners & buried stash locations
There’s awesome loot here: The Tarkov Map Customs is often referred to as a map on which there is hardly anything for players to get. However, we say this is nonsense. To prove that, you should research the following loot points:
- There are lots of PC parts, tech spawns & fuel here. There is also a rare item spawn upstairs.
- You can find two weapon boxes here on the scaffolding inside. Popular keys such as the Factory Key also spawn here.
- Here you will find food & drinks right in the first door. In the toilets there is a bloody mannequin with a gold wristwatch that can spawn. In the back of the building there are tech items and weapon attachments. In addition, there can be even more rare items on the couch in the back room.
Where to find the stashes: Stashes are buried containers in which you can find good loot. That is why they are not easy to find and are sometimes hidden in bushes or in almost invisible places.
