CBP Office of Field Operations Launches New National and Economic Security Strategy
CBP's Office of Field Operations has announced a new strategic framework focused on safeguarding U.S. national and economic security, which is expected to shape enforcement priorities, resource deployment, and trade-compliance targeting across all ports of entry. Importers should anticipate that this strategy may influence exam rates, targeting criteria, and trade-enforcement initiatives going forward.
A formal OFO strategy realignment is a leading indicator of where enforcement resources and scrutiny will flow — we will monitor subsequent CSMS guidance and port-level communications closely to advise clients on any shifts in exam or targeting patterns.

Our position is general commentary on a published notice, not legal advice and not a binding opinion on any shipment. Nothing here creates a broker-client relationship or a duty of care, and it is not a substitute for a ruling, a licensed review of your facts, or the official notice itself.
