You’ll need to get a Customs Office Key in Escape from Tarkov if you want to complete the quests Delivery from the Past or Farming - Part 3, as it opens up the office door within the red Paradigm warehouse on Customs. 

The bad news is that the only way to get a Customs Office Key is by searching drawers on the level or by killing Scavs and searching their pockets and bags. The drawers you’re after are metallic towers smaller than a person’s height. If you’ve ever worked in an office, you should recognize these filing cabinets pretty easily. They’re all inside buildings, so you should know where to head while playing. There’s only a 3% chance of finding a Customs Office Key in each one you search, but there are four per drawers, and it’s still marked as a common item.

To avoid risking your own gear, it’s recommended to load into levels as a Scav and search nearby buildings in the hopes of finding a key. Once you have it, you need to extract successfully to store it in your inventory.

Keep trying and eventually you’ll get a Customs Office Key in Escape from Tarkov. Make your way to an extraction point or, if you’re playing on Customs, head directly to the red paradigm office if you want to see what’s inside. Keeping your keys in a Secure Container until you need them is another good way of making sure you don’t lose them.
