Bill 117 HR 768, also known as the Block, Report, and Suspend Suspicious Shipments Act of 2021, aims to address the issue of suspicious shipments entering the United States. The bill proposes measures to prevent and respond to potentially dangerous shipments that may pose a threat to national security.
Under this legislation, the Department of Homeland Security would be required to establish a system for identifying and blocking suspicious shipments before they enter the country. This system would involve increased monitoring of shipments, as well as the implementation of reporting requirements for companies involved in the transportation of goods.
Additionally, the bill calls for the suspension of shipments that are deemed to be suspicious or potentially harmful. This would allow authorities to further investigate the contents of the shipment and take appropriate action to ensure the safety of the American public.
Overall, the Block, Report, and Suspend Suspicious Shipments Act of 2021 seeks to enhance the security measures in place to protect the United States from potential threats posed by suspicious shipments. By implementing stricter monitoring and reporting requirements, the bill aims to prevent dangerous goods from entering the country and posing a risk to national security.
