Press Officers
CBP has spokespersons in Washington, D.C. and around the country to assist members of the working press.
The CBP Media Relations inbox and individual press inquiries are monitored Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern (except Federal holidays.) Requests that come in outside that timeframe will be addressed the following business day.
This policy is not to be construed as a declination to respond, rather, it is meant to ensure U.S. Customs and Border Protection is allowed to conduct the due-diligence required to respond appropriately.
Non-media inquiries can be addressed by the CBP INFO Center, help.cbp.gov
