Summary:

If the U.S. Customs Service does not address the Year 2000 problem in time, key automated systems affecting trillions of dollars in trade between the United States and other countries could malfunction. The result would be delayed trade processing; lost trade revenue; and more criminal activity, such as drug smuggling, money laundering, and commercial fraud. Fortunately, Customs has made good progress in dealing with the Year 2000 problem, thanks, in large part, to the effective program management structures and processes that it has in place. Nevertheless, challenges remain, such as completing end-to-end testing. This testimony discusses four key areas: the agency's progress so far, the effectiveness of its program management, its progress in leading a governmentwide effort to ensure continuous inspections at border crossings, and future challenges facing the agency.
