The pre-inspection pilot for agricultural goods entering the U.S. from Mexico began Jan. 12, with CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske there to kick off the program, said CBP (here). Mexican Secretary of Finance and Public Credit Luis Videgaray joined Kerlikowske in Mesa de Otay, Tijuana, Mexico for the inaugural event. CBP officers and agriculture specialists will "pre-inspect certain U.S-bound agricultural shipments alongside Mexican Customs officers at the Mesa de Otay facility," said the agency. "The shipments that will be pre-inspected are low-risk, high volume agricultural commodities that are part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Agriculture Release Program," it said.
