CBP

CBP, or Customs and Border Protection, is a U.S. government agency responsible for safeguarding the country's borders. It manages how goods and people enter and exit the United States, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations.

They operate at ports of entry like airports and border crossings, using technology, inspections, and intelligence to protect national security while enabling legitimate commerce and movement.
