A centralised examination station for Boston Port
Boston Freight Terminals will now serve as a centralised examination station (CES) at the Area Port of Boston, within the control of US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). CES are used by CBP to efficiently perform cargo examinations at multiple facilities within a port of entry.
Julio Caravia, area port director: “As a CES, Boston Freight Terminals will work with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to ensure that examinations of imported and exported goods are completed in accordance with CBP policies. This allows us to streamline the customs clearance process and make it more efficient and cost effective for all businesses in the New England trade community.”
For the next five years, the operator will provide a secure facility within 40 km of the port, with the required personnel and equipment. (mk)
