The preposition 'per' is correct for purpose; learners sometimes replace it with 'di' (per la dogana → di la dogana) which is ungrammatical.
Sì, ecco il mio modulo per dogana.
The article 'la' before 'dogana' is required because 'dogana' is a feminine noun.
Sì, ecco il mio modulo per la dogane.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, customs officers often ask for a 'modulo di dichiarazione' (customs declaration) when you bring goods over the EU limit. Hand the form over with a smile and say 'ecco' – it shows politeness and readiness. Remember that the word 'dogana' can also refer to the customs office itself, so you might hear 'vado alla dogana' (I'm going to customs).
