Red Hook Container Terminal to be Used for CBP Examinations until 2017

U.S. Customs and Border Protection for Field Operations at the Port of New York/Newark will continue to use the Red Hook Container Terminal for all types of examinations until January 8, 2017. That office issued an Informational Pipeline providing updated information on the Centralized Exam Stations (CES) selected to perform examinations of seaport cargo. The pipeline message said the CBP and Port Authority of New York/New Jersey recently agreed to increase security and improve infrastructure at the terminal. The terminal has been used as a CES in addition to the four other stations under a January 7, 2012 agreement, which was scheduled to expire after 90-days on April 7, 2012.
