Customs and Border Protection Launches Traveler Awareness Campaign

Washington, D.C. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection today launched the “Know Before You Go, Get Your Passport” campaign aimed at preparing American citizens for upcoming changes to travel document requirements, also known as the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. CBP processed over 422 million arriving individuals last year, including over 87 million international air arrivals.

“During this busy holiday season, we want your entry into the United States to be smooth and efficient,” said CBP Commission W. Ralph Basham. “We take our role in facilitating legitimate trade and travel very seriously and we want to make sure travelers have all the resources and information necessary to make their traveling experience a positive one.”

Commissioner Basham made special reference to the “Top 10 Traveler Tips” and the “Questions” section available at CBP’s Web site.
