Three more ports launch CSI inspections
Cargo screening for terrorist weapon smuggling under the Container Security Initiative has begun at the ports of Caucedo in the Dominican Republic; Freeport, Bahamas; and Barcelona and Valencia, Spain, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Friday.
The agency has stationed small teams of customs officers in each port to analyze shipping data and request local authorities inspect to inspect high-risk cargo with non-intrusive scanning machines.
Ports in Kingston, Jamaica, and Kaohsiung, Taiwan, also came on line last week as CSI ports, bringing the number of foreign ports in the supply chain security program to 47.
