New Centralized Examination Station (CES) Opening at Houston-Galveston Seaport
CBP has announced the opening of a new Centralized Examination Station (CES) at the Houston-Galveston Seaport, which will affect where cargo selected for intensive examination is directed within that port complex. Importers and carriers with freight moving through Houston-Galveston should confirm with their service providers which CES facility applies to their cargo.
In our view, a new CES opening at a major Gulf port can shift examination timelines and drayage logistics — we are updating our Houston-Galveston port operations contacts to reflect the new facility details as they become available.
