Extension of Port Limits of Puget Sound, WA

Riepilogo

This document proposes to amend the Customs Regulations pertaining to the field organization of Customs by extending the geographical limits of the consolidated port of entry of Puget Sound, Washington. The current boundaries are being extended to include the portion of King County, Washington, which now lies between the boundaries of the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma. The boundaries are being changed because various commercial operations requiring the services of Customs personnel have been established in areas beyond the current limits of the consolidated port. This proposed change is being made as part of Customs continuing program to obtain more efficient use of its personnel, facilities, and resources and to provide better service to carriers, importers, and the general public.
