Secure Freight Initiative (SFI)

The Secure Freight Initiative (SFI) is a program aimed at enhancing the security of international shipping. It uses advanced technology and data sharing to screen cargo containers for potential threats before they reach U.S. ports. By collaborating with various countries and their customs agencies, SFI seeks to identify dangerous materials or illegal goods while facilitating legitimate trade. This initiative improves safety and efficiency in global supply chains, helping to protect communities from potential security risks associated with maritime transportation.
