 Launched in November 2001
 A voluntary government-business initiative designed to strengthen and improve
overall international supply chain and U.S. border security

inspections at the border and ports of entry.
 Enabling CBP to shift cargo targeting and examination resources to those import
transactions of high or unknown risks
