Abstract: A Centralized Examination Station (CES) is a facility

physical examination. If a port director decides that a CES is needed,
he or she solicits applications to operate a CES. The information
contained in the application is used to determine the suitability of
the applicant's facility, the fairness of fee structure, and the
knowledge of cargo handling operations and of CBP procedures and
regulations. The names of all corporate officers and all employees who
will come in contact with uncleared cargo are also to be provided so
that CBP may perform background investigations. The CES application is
provided for by 19 CFR 118.11 and is authorized by 19 U.S.C. 1499,
Tariff Act of 1930.
CBP port directors solicit these applications by using port
information bulletins, local newspapers, and/or the internet. This
collection of information applies to the importing and trade community,
which is familiar with import procedures and with the CBP regulations.
