00:00:02.887 --> 00:00:06.965
DeLoatch: We're the second largest preclearance location within Canada.

00:00:06.965 --> 00:00:10.396
We have 85 CBP officers here to operate between

00:00:10.396 --> 00:00:13.578
4:30 in the morning and 20:30 at night.

00:00:13.578 --> 00:00:18.265
On an annual basis we process about 2.3 million air passengers.

00:00:18.265 --> 00:00:20.430
That includes in transit preclearance,

00:00:20.430 --> 00:00:23.551
which is a facility for passengers who travel from foreign

00:00:23.551 --> 00:00:27.353
directly into U.S. CBP without going through Canadian Customs.

00:00:27.353 --> 00:00:33.009
Within the federal inspection station area of the airport we have 19 APC kiosks.

00:00:33.009 --> 00:00:37.173
It allows us to process passengers at a faster rate,

00:00:37.173 --> 00:00:40.049
because the administrative burden is at the passenger

00:00:40.049 --> 00:00:42.677
who's actually keying the kiosk.

00:00:42.677 --> 00:00:45.891
The Marquise airport personnel take a physical picture of the bag

00:00:45.891 --> 00:00:50.189
and they scan the barcoded tag and then put the bag into the induction system.

00:00:50.189 --> 00:00:52.848
And that travels with the bag until it reaches the aircraft.

00:00:52.848 --> 00:00:56.250
The officer scans their electronic device or their boarding pass.

00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:59.310
It brings up the image of the bag at the induction point.

00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:01.991
The officer then asks the traveler "Is that your bag?"

00:01:01.991 --> 00:01:04.124
The traveler can look at the monitor and say,

00:01:04.124 --> 00:01:06.228
"Yes, that is the bag that I'm carrying".

00:01:06.228 --> 00:01:08.363
The officer then will ask them, you know, what are you declaring?

00:01:08.363 --> 00:01:10.250
Do you have any fruits, meats or vegetables?

00:01:10.250 --> 00:01:12.158
Any items in the bag that you need to declare?

00:01:12.158 --> 00:01:14.106
And the traveler will give his declaration.

00:01:14.106 --> 00:01:16.179
If the officer determines that there's no items in the bag,

00:01:16.179 --> 00:01:17.787
it's released for travel.

00:01:17.787 --> 00:01:21.993
Passengers fly from a foreign destination into Vancouver.

00:01:21.993 --> 00:01:25.486
They are not inducted into or go through inspection for Canada.

00:01:25.486 --> 00:01:28.084
They come directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

00:01:28.084 --> 00:01:30.404
We conduct our admissibility review,

00:01:30.404 --> 00:01:32.569
determine that they're admissible into the United States

00:01:32.569 --> 00:01:35.877
and they fly domestic direct into the United States.

00:01:35.877 --> 00:01:40.268
And it's one of the business models that's been now looked at U.S. airports

00:01:40.268 --> 00:01:45.515
as far as a business model to attract faster access to U.S. destinations.
