U.S. Customs and Border Protection

About U.S. Customs and Border Protection

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security responsible for regulating and facilitating international trade, collecting import duties, and enforcing U.S. trade, customs, and immigration regulations. CBP's primary mission is to protect the nation's borders from terrorism, illegal immigration, and contraband while enabling lawful travel and trade. The agency operates at ports of entry across the United States, including airports, seaports, and land borders. CBP officers and agents inspect travelers and cargo, enforce customs and immigration laws, and prevent the entry of prohibited items. The agency also works with other government entities and international partners to enhance border security and streamline legitimate trade and travel. CBP is not a remote-friendly employer, as most positions require physical presence at border locations or office facilities.

Company Culture

CBP culture is mission-driven, hierarchical, and security-focused. Employees work in a structured environment with clear chains of command and strict adherence to protocols. Collaboration is often inter-agency and involves high-stakes decision-making under pressure.

Our Values

Vigilance, Integrity, Service to Country, Respect for the Law, Professionalism, and Teamwork.

Benefits & Perks

CBP offers federal government benefits including health insurance, retirement plans, paid leave, and potential student loan forgiveness. However, remote work is generally not available, and roles often require shift work, overtime, and travel.
