CBP Attaches

CBP operates Attaché Offices in 26 countries around the world. Attachés are posted in U.S. Embassies and Consulates and serve as the Chief of Mission’s Customs and Border Protection in-house specialists where they inform and advise the U.S. Ambassador or Consul General on CBP programs and capabilities.

CBP Attachés support and oversee all CBP programs in their area of responsibility. Additionally, they seek to educate stakeholders about CBP’s international programs such as: the Container Security Initiative; Preclearance; the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, and various capacity building programs.
