The re-obligated funds will be used for narcotics detection by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service (CBP). CBP is requesting INL assistance to purchase Narcotic Test Kits for the SARS. End Summary ¶2. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) assists the South African Revenue Service (SARS) in Capacity Building under the World Customs Organizations (WCO) Framework of Standards. CBP was instrumental in the training and development of the SARS Customs Border Control Unit. This team is modeled after the CBP Antiterrorism Contraband Enforcement Team, (ATCET),and has had considerable success since its inception in 2007 ¶3. In the Port of Durban the CBP Container Security Initiative works with SARS to identify suspect shipments containing terrorist instruments, weapons of mass destruction, narcotics and other contraband destined for the United States. There are two CBP Officers and a TDY ICE Special Agent located in the port. ¶4. The kits will help SARS to identify organizations involved in Transnational Crimes. The kits will provide a presumptive drug test for suspicious substances attempting to enter or transit through South Africa. CBP will assist SARS in developing protocols for security and storage of the kits, and a protocol for activating the use of the drug test kits. Examples: canine alert, supervisory approval, documentation of findings. Train-the-Trainer for sustainability of proficiency. ¶5. Below is the name of the U.S. supplier, the requested items and the cost. This is an estimated cost because the list does not include sales tax and shipping costs. The CBP representatives have selected a single source supplier because they have an existing business relationship with this company and they are satisfied with the performance of the product.
