CBP
Also called: US Customs and Border Protection
The US federal agency within the Department of Homeland Security responsible for customs and border control, including collection of duties, enforcement of trade laws and admission of goods. It issues rulings, administers ACE and enforces measures such as UFLPA.
In practice
CBP decisions on classification, value and origin determine US duty, and its rulings in CROSS are the best guide to its practice.
