Notice

Requesters can use the FOIA SecureRelease portal to submit requests directly to U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Requests can also be sent in the physical mail to 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Mail Stop 1181, Washington, DC 20229. We encourage you to submit your request through the DHS Portal. Any requests sent to CBP in the physical mail will need to be manually entered by staff and will divert resources away from processing records.
