Border Inspection Posts

Border Inspection Posts (BIPs) are official checkpoints located at borders where goods, animals, and sometimes people are examined before entering or leaving a country. Their main purpose is to ensure compliance with safety, health, and regulatory standards, preventing the spread of diseases, pests, or illegal items. Trained officials carry out inspections, checking documents, assessing cargo, and sometimes sampling for testing. BIPs help protect a country's health and security while facilitating lawful trade and movement. They operate in accordance with national and international laws to ensure that imported and exported items meet safety and quality standards.
