Bill overview
The BEST Facilitation Act establishes a pilot program within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to utilize image technicians to review non-intrusive inspection images of vehicles and cargo entering and exiting the United States. These technicians, designated as Image Technician 1 and 2, would assess images for contraband, illicit drugs, and individuals attempting unlawful entry. The program aims to enhance border security and trade facilitation through automated image analysis, with a five-year sunset and potential for employee transfers.
