Summary[edit]

Description Compounding the problem is the hazardous nature of various types of synthetic drugs that are being sent through the IMFs. Processing inbound international mail is primarily a manual process and requires CBP officers to sort through large bags and bins by hand. At the IMFs, FDA investigators open and screen suspicious packages flagged for screening by CBP. Given the sheer volume of mail—and the amount of time it takes to inspect just one package—this is a challenging task.
