U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released operational statistics for September 2024. CBP works diligently with the trade community and port operators to ensure that merchandise is cleared as efficiently as possible and to strengthen international supply chains and improve border security.
In September 2024, CBP processed more than 2.9 million entry summaries valued at more than $296.1 billion, identifying estimated duties of nearly $7.6 billion to be collected by the U.S. government. In September, trade via the ocean environment accounted for 41.6% of the total import value, followed by air, truck, and rail.
CBP also completed 105 audits in August that identified $68 million in duties and fees owed to the U.S. government, stemming from goods that had been improperly declared in accordance with U.S. trade laws and customs regulations. CBP collected over $6.5 million of this identified revenue and from previous fiscal years' assignments.
