In 2003, U.S. Customs and Border Protection became the nation’s first comprehensive border security agency with a focus on maintaining the integrity of the nation’s boundaries and ports of entry.

Before CBP, security, compliance and facilitation of international travel and trade were conducted by multiple organizations. The consolidation of these roles and responsibilities allowed CBP to develop seamless security procedures while ensuring compliance with the nation’s immigration, health, and international trade laws and regulations.

With more than 60,000 employees, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is one of the world’s largest law enforcement organizations and is charged with keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the U.S. while facilitating lawful international travel and trade.

As the United States’ first unified border entity, CBP takes a comprehensive approach to border management and control, combining customs, immigration, border security, and agricultural protection into one coordinated and supportive activity.

Chris Magnus is the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In this leadership position, he oversees 60,000 employees, manages a budget of over $15 billion, and ensures the effective operations of CBP’s mission to protect national security while promoting economic prosperity. Mr. Magnus directs the agency’s three core missions, counterterrorism, border security, and trade enforcement while facilitating $4 trillion in trade and facilitating the travel of over 410 million people through ports of entry. He oversees the largest law enforcement agency and the second-largest revenue-collecting source in the federal government.
