Import Safety


CPSC’s Import Surveillance Division (CIS) works closely with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to identify and examine imported shipments of consumer products. As part of this effort, CIS has co-located investigators at many of the largest ports of entry who work side-by-side with CBP staff. CIS also works to educate importers, manufacturers, and Customs brokers on CPSC’s standards and procedures.
