CBP Seeking Applicants to Operate a Centralized Examination Station at Port of New York/Newark
CBP is soliciting applicants interested in operating a Centralized Examination Station (CES) at the Port of New York/Newark, which is where CBP directs cargo for examination when it cannot be examined at the pier. Importers with high-volume operations through New York/Newark should be aware that CES operations and associated costs may be affected by the selection of a new operator.
A change in CES operators at New York/Newark can affect examination turnaround times and demurrage exposure for our clients — we will monitor the selection process and keep clients advised of any operational changes once a new CES operator is designated. This is also a business opportunity worth noting for logistics providers in our network.
