Report Date Jan. 28, 2021
Release Date Jan. 28, 2021
Report No. GAO-21-234R
Summary:

Over 650,000 people and nearly 78,000 truck, rail, and sea containers entered the U.S. every day in FY 2020 through 328 ports of entry.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection uses 2 public-private partnership programs to expand its port services. One allows partners such as port authorities to reimburse CBP for additional work outside regular hours. Another accepts donations for infrastructure improvements, which could speed up CBP's work.

CBP added 25 reimbursement partnerships and 1 donation partnership since 2013. Most focus on processing air freight, cargo, and travelers.
