US Customs And Border Protection (CBP)

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is a federal agency under the Department of Homeland Security responsible for overseeing international trade, collecting import duties, and enforcing U.S. customs, trade, and immigration laws. CBP ensures secure and efficient cross-border movement by preventing the entry of illegal goods, enforcing trade regulations, collecting customs revenue, and safeguarding U.S. agriculture from pests and diseases. The agency works closely with international partners, utilizing advanced technology and intelligence to streamline customs clearance and maintain the integrity of the global supply chain. Importers and exporters must engage with CBP for regulatory compliance and smooth trade operations.
