What is the name of the program under which all containers destined to the United States are scanned prior to loading?

The program under which all containers destined to the United States are scanned prior to loading is known as the Secure Freight Initiative. This initiative was developed to enhance security measures for cargo entering the U.S. by ensuring that containers are scanned for potential threats before they reach U.S. ports. The focus of the Secure Freight Initiative is on pre-screening and assessing the security of international cargo, thereby reducing risks associated with potential terrorist attacks involving maritime shipping.

In contrast, the Secure Border Initiative primarily addresses security along borders, the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) focuses on supply chain security through partnerships with the trade community, and the Port Security Program emphasizes overall security measures at ports rather than specific container scanning prior to loading. The distinction between these programs highlights the specific aim of the Secure Freight Initiative in enhancing the safety of trade entering the United States.
