This includes exploring the use of advanced scanning technology, automated systems, and other innovative tools to improve the efficiency and accuracy of cargo inspections.
The bill specifies that the pilot program will be implemented at select land ports of entry, allowing for a focused evaluation of the impact of technology on the cargo inspection process. The results of the pilot program will be used to inform future decisions on the use of technology in border security and trade facilitation efforts.
Overall, Bill 119 s 703 seeks to leverage technology to improve the cargo inspection process at land ports of entry, with the ultimate goal of enhancing border security and promoting efficient trade practices.
