CBP (Customs and Border Protection)

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is a U.S. government agency responsible for regulating and facilitating international trade, enforcing immigration laws, and protecting the nation's borders. It ensures that goods entering the country comply with laws and regulations, helps prevent illegal entry of individuals, and stops smuggling of contraband. CBP officers work at ports of entry, such as airports and border crossings, conducting inspections and assessments. The agency ultimately aims to enhance national security while supporting legitimate trade and travel, making sure that people and products move safely and efficiently across U.S. borders.
