What is CBP (Customs and Border Protection)?

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is a federal law enforcement agency under the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CBP has a dual mission of protecting the United States from terrorism and other threats, and facilitating lawful trade and travel.

Some of the specific things that CBP does includes:

Inspecting goods and people entering the United States
Collecting duties and taxes on imported goods
Patrolling the border
Conducting investigations
Processing passports and visas
Inspecting cargo and vehicles

Anyone importing products into the United States, whether for domestic distribution or as part of an import for re-export, must work with the CBP. Failing to meet necessary regulations can result in various fines and penalties against the importer.
