CBP stands ready to enforce this Executive Order. Importing into the U.S. has for too long been treated as a right and not a privilege. CBP will execute the priorities in this Executive Order and by doing so we will fortify our trading border just as we have done with our physical border.
Today we signed The Customs Reform Executive Order, putting America First for trade enforcement. It protects domestic industry from unfair competition, holds bad actors accountable, and reinforces that economic security is national security.
CBP agriculture specialists at the JFK IMF eggs-posed 17 hatching eggs in a shipment from Germany. The eggs were turned over to USDA Veterinary Services per CBP/USDA regulations. Visit the CBP website for guidance on regulations before shipping: https://t.co/PHMA2uCySb #OFOProud
Protecting public health is paramount. Bushmeat, derived from wild animals like non-human primates & cane rats, poses a significant communicable disease risk & its importation into the U.S. is illegal. CBP remains committed to protecting our Nation’s health & our borders.
We don’t cry over spilled milk, we test it! At JFK, @CBP officers intercepted cans of baby #milk from Amsterdam during a cargo inspection. A closer look revealed the substance inside was actually ketamine! Our vigilance ensures dangerous drugs don't reach our streets.
.@CBP is always on top! Officers at JFK Airport recently intercepted 54 counterfeit @WWE belts in a shipment labeled “Boxing Wrestling Champions.” Counterfeits never win the title when #CBP’s in the ring. #OFOProud

Remember a few months ago when @DFONewYork@CBPPortDirNYNJ officers and agriculture specialists discovered a stowaway fox while processing a ship arriving from the UK? Well, he’s doing great! And his name is Basil.

On National Maritime Day, @CBP honors the vital role of our Nation’s seaports and the dedicated officers who protect them. From inspecting cargo to welcoming cruise ship passengers, #CBP ensures safe and lawful trade and travel at America’s ports every single day.
