U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced 33 tentative selections for new reimbursable services agreements that it says will promote cross-border trade and facilitate essential travel to the U.S.
CBP’s Reimbursable Services Program allows private-sector entities and state and local governments to reimburse CBP for additional inspection services that would not otherwise be available. Examples include services offered at remote locations or outside of typical port hours. Under reimbursable services agreements, mandatory services such as customs, agricultural processing, border security services, immigration inspections, and support services at ports of entry can be expanded.
CBP states that since this program began in 2013 it has been expanded to include 608 stakeholders and has provided more than 1.65 million additional processing hours accounting for the processing of more than 21.8 million travelers and more than 2.4 million commercial and personal vehicles.
