(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) The increased security and safety concerns 
that developed in the aftermath of the terrorist at-
tacks in the United States on September 11, 2001, 
need to be addressed. 
(2) One concern that has come to light is the 
vulnerability of the international bridges and tunnels 
along the United States borders. 
(3) It is necessary to ensure that potentially 
dangerous vehicles are inspected prior to crossing
HR 4418 RFS 
these bridges and tunnels; however, currently these 
vehicles are not inspected until after they have 
crossed into the United States. 
(4) Establishing Integrated Border Inspection 
Areas (IBIAs) would address these concerns by in-
specting vehicles before they gained access to the in-
frastructure of international bridges and tunnels 
joining the United States and Canada. 
(b) CREATION OF INTEGRATED BORDER INSPECTION 
AREAS.— 
(1) IN
GENERAL.—The Commissioner of the 
Customs Service, in consultation with the Canadian 
Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA), shall seek to 
establish 
Integrated 
Border 
Inspection 
Areas 
(IBIAs), such as areas on either side of the United 
States-Canada border, in which United States Cus-
toms officers can inspect vehicles entering the 
United States from Canada before they enter the 
United States, or Canadian Customs officers can in-
spect vehicles entering Canada from the United 
States before they enter Canada. Such inspections 
may include, where appropriate, employment of re-
verse inspection techniques. 
(2) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT.—The Commis-
sioner of Customs, in consultation with the Adminis-
HR 4418 RFS 
trator of the General Services Administration when 
appropriate, shall seek to carry out paragraph (1) in 
a manner that minimizes adverse impacts on the 
surrounding community. 
(3) ELEMENTS OF THE PROGRAM.—Using the 
authority granted by this section and under section 
629 of the Tariff Act of 1930, the Commissioner of 
Customs, in consultation with the Canadian Customs 
and Revenue Agency, shall seek to— 
(A) locate Integrated Border Inspection 
Areas in areas with bridges or tunnels with 
high traffic volume, significant commercial ac-
tivity, and that have experienced backups and 
delays since September 11, 2001; 
(B) ensure that United States Customs of-
ficers stationed in any such IBIA on the Cana-
dian side of the border are vested with the max-
imum authority to carry out their duties and 
enforce United States law; 
(C) ensure that United States Customs of-
ficers stationed in any such IBIA on the Cana-
dian side of the border shall possess the same 
immunity that they would possess if they were 
stationed in the United States; and
HR 4418 RFS 
(D) encourage appropriate officials of the 
United States to enter into an agreement with 
Canada permitting Canadian Customs officers 
stationed in any such IBIA on the United 
States side of the border to enjoy such immuni-
ties as permitted in Canada. 
SEC. 123. DESIGNATION OF FOREIGN LAW ENFORCEMENT

(b) INSPECTIONS AND PRECLEARANCE IN FOREIGN 
COUNTRIES.—Section 629 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1629) is amended— 
(1) in subsection (a), by inserting ‘‘, or subse-
quent to their exit from,’’ after ‘‘prior to their ar-
rival in’’; 
(2) in subsection (c)— 
(A) by inserting ‘‘or exportation’’ after 
‘‘relating to the importation’’; and 
(B) by inserting ‘‘or exit’’ after ‘‘port of 
entry’’; 
(3) by amending subsection (e) to read as fol-
lows:

tioning in the United States of customs and agriculture

extended by that country to United States officials) for 
the purpose of insuring that persons and merchandise 
going directly to that country from the United States, or 
that have gone directly from that country to the United 
States, comply with the customs and other laws of that
