DRAFT * * DRAFT * * 19 co located @ 15 major ports (out of 327) To place these numbers in context, there are approximately 327 U.S. ports of entry and more than 14 million entry lines imported into the U.S. each year. Based on Fiscal Year 2010 volumes, the current port staff were able to review only 0.05 pecent of the import line entries under CPSC’s jurisdiction. This very low number of inspections, limited by resource constraints, fails to provide sufficient coverage of either the 327 port locations or the enormous volume of imported consumer products. The value of U.S. imports under the CPSC’s jurisdiction has skyrocketed in recent years, reaching about $639 billion in 2008. The value of all U.S. imports of consumer products from China and Hong Kong more than quadrupled from 1997 to 2008, accounting for the largest component of the overall increase in imports. Moreover, four out of five consumer product recalls involve imported products, making imports a critical focus area for the CPSC. With over $1.5 billion in container import shipments entering the U.S. each day—received by over 800,000 importers and entering through over 300 different ports— monitoring the quality of all imported consumer products is an extremely challenging task. FOCUS ON PREVENTION – a primary CPSC strategy The key priorities of import investigators are to detect non-compliant products, promote a self-managed behavioral deterrence on trade industry participants, and provide enough information to the Commission to assess and monitor import risk issues.
