Report Date March 14, 2019
Release Date March 14, 2019
Report No. GAO-19-263R
Summary:

On a typical day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection screens more than 1 million people and $7.2 million worth of cargo as they seek to enter the United States.

CBP has 2 programs that facilitate partnerships with public and private entities (such as local governments and companies) to help meet demand for its services. We continue to find that these programs are beneficial.

For example, one program allows CBP to accept donated land or funding, which can be used to expand inspection facilities.

In a previous report, we recommended evaluating the partnership programs. CBP expects to complete its assessment report in 2019.

Public-private funding helped expand an entry to inspection lanes at a land port of entry in Cameron County, Texas
