Non-Intrusive Inspection Systems & Radiation Detection Equipment FY 2015 Accomplishments

The mission of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is to safeguard America’s borders – protecting the public from dangerous people and materials while enhancing the Nation’s global economic competitiveness by enabling legitimate trade and travel. To achieve this mission, CBP uses a layered enforcement strategy to monitor, regulate, and facilitate the flow of goods. A critical layer within this strategy is the use of Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) systems and Radiation detection equipment (RDE), to detect and interdict contraband while facilitating the flow of commerce.
