Container Security Initiative (CSI) 1
Container Security Initiative (CSI) 1 :
"under CSI, U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspectors are placed at the world's top seaports, where they work with their foreign counterparts to screen and label cargo as "higher-risk" or "low-risk" long before it reaches the U.S. This process is aided immeasurably by the new "24-hour rule," which requires electronic transmission of advance cargo manifests from U.S.-bound sea carriers a day in advance of loading. Early reports from industry show that the 24-hour rule is aiding not just security, but productivity. The information is run through our Automated Targeting System, which compares it against law enforcement data, the latest threat intelligence and the ships' history".
