Customs Service

Status of Reorganization and Modernization Efforts Gao ID: T-GGD/AIMD-95-70 January 30, 1995

The American public relies on the Customs Service to guard the nation's borders and enforce U.S. trade laws. In 1992, GAO reported that Customs could not adequately ensure that it was meeting its responsibilities of combatting unfair trade practices and protecting the American public from unsafe goods. This testimony covers three topics: the challenges facing Customs, Customs' proposal to fundamentally restructure itself as outlined in a September 1994 report, and its implementation of the Modernization Act.
