This law will help to ensure every package is effectively screened before crossing our borders
UPS® (NYSE: UPS), a global logistics provider and leading advocate for global trade, customs and security, commends President Trump for signing the “Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention Act of 2018” (STOP Act) into law. UPS also applauds the leadership of Senators Rob Portman and Amy Klobuchar, as well as Chairman Kevin Brady and Representatives Richard Neal, Mike Bishop, John Faso and Bill Pascrell for reaching a bipartisan, bicameral agreement on this measure to help stop dangerous drugs and other illicit goods from being shipped across our borders.
“The STOP Act will provide the necessary tools for our law enforcement agencies so they can better screen and intercept dangerous inbound packages,” said David Abney, Chairman and CEO of UPS. “While private shippers like UPS already provide advanced data on every single package they import into America, postal operators have no such obligation. This legislation will close a loophole in our border security by ensuring that every package coming into the U.S. from abroad will receive consistent and effective screening.”
UPS has been a supporter of the STOP Act since it was introduced. This new law will help to protect our borders and keep the country’s citizens safe.
