Container Security Initiative Ports

The Container Security Initiative (CSI) allows U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), working with host government Customs Services, to examine high-risk maritime containerized cargo at foreign seaports, before they are loaded on board vessels destined for the United States. Learn more about CSI at CBP.gov.

There are currently 58 foreign ports participating in CSI, accounting for 85 percent of container traffic bound for the United States.
