What is a Centralized Examination Station (CES)?

Predictable releaseSingle handlingLower risk

A Centralized Examination Station (CES) is a designated facility where imported goods are inspected by customs officials. These stations, under CBP supervision, streamline cargo examination while maintaining the flow of legitimate trade.

Centralization leads to more efficient processing, reducing time and costs. When shipments are selected for examination, routing to a CES can expedite release for faster, more predictable outcomes.

Having Borderworx designated as a Centralized Examination Station (CES) brings a significant edge to your business operations. As a CES, Borderworx becomes a one-stop-shop for the examination of your imported goods, which means you’ll never have to be concerned about your products being handled by multiple parties or companies. This consolidation of services under one roof not only mitigates the risk of miscommunication and product mishandling that can occur when multiple handlers are involved but also ensures that the integrity of your goods is maintained throughout the customs inspection process.
