Customs Service: Status of Reorganization and Modernization Efforts
(Testimony, 01/30/95, GAO/T-GGD/AIMD-95-70).

The American public relies on the Customs Service to guard the nation's
borders and enforce U.S. trade laws. In 1992, GAO reported that Customs
could not adequately ensure that it was meeting its responsibilities of
combatting unfair trade practices and protecting the American public
from unsafe goods. This testimony covers three topics: the challenges
facing Customs, Customs' proposal to fundamentally restructure itself as
outlined in a September 1994 report, and its implementation of the
Modernization Act.
