U.S. Response II: U.S. Inspectors Will Operate at French, Belgian Seaports The U.S. Customs Service will station inspectors at the seaport in Le Havre, France, to inspect cargo shipments destined for the United States, the agency said today (see GSN, June 25). More than 108,000 cargo containers were shipped to the United States from Le Havre last year, Customs said (Associated Press/New York Times, June 28). Customs this week also signed an agreement with Belgium to station U.S. inspectors at the Antwerp seaport. About 115,000 cargo containers were shipped to the United States from Antwerp last year, according to a U.S. State Department press release. Customs said it is negotiating other inspector-stationing agreements with several additional European and Asian countries. So far, the agency has agreements to station inspectors at seaports in Canada, Singapore and the Netherlands (U.S. State Department release, June 27).
