U.S. Response IV: South Africa Joins Container Security Initiative South Africa has agreed to join the U.S. Container Security Initiative, the U.S. Homeland Security Department’s Customs and Border Protection service announced last week (see GSN, June 17). The service plans to station U.S. inspectors at the South African port of Durban to help examine high-risk cargo containers destined for the United States, according to a Customs and Border Protection press release. In addition, South Africa is planning to station customs personnel in the United States. “This is an important step, it is not just historically important, it is also economically important,” Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Robert Bonner said. “It is important that we stand shoulder to shoulder against a new and unusual common enemy to protect not only our citizens, but also our economic strength and well-being as well,” he said (U.S. Customs and Border Protection release, July 15).
