In addition to a vendor fair, the Expo will feature presentations on solar, energy efficiency, waste reduction, recycling, composting & CBP will have two officers that will talk about how the Unified Cargo Program promotes a green port of entry and more!

We have many speakers scheduled to speak at the Sustainability Expo next week.

Guadalupe Ramirez from U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be speaking on the Unified Cargo Processing Program and how it promotes a green port of entry!

What is the Unified Cargo Processing Program?
Unified Cargo Processing is a concept that was spearheaded out of Arizona. The concept has Mexican customs officers working side by side with CBP officers in the United States side to jointly inspect and process shipments of cargo destined for the United States, making the shipment process quicker.
