Container Security Initiative (CSI)

CSI
 

Overview

Container Security Initiative (CSI) is a government to government initiative in which the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) signs bilateral agreements with its counterparts in different countries.

Under CSI, U.S. Customs agents are deployed at CSI ports to help identify and inspect high-risk containers before the containers are loaded on vessels bound for the U.S.

Since CSI was unveiled in January, 2002, it has become a part of our government's strategy to protect the Nation from the potential terrorist threat by securing maritime cargo containers. In September, 2006, CSI "reached gold" with 50 operational CSI ports worldwide. See links below for additional information, list of participating ports and most recent news.
