Trade (OT). Testing in advance of a procurement or acquisition allows CBP to intelligently invest in future technologies that facilitate, secure, and reduce costs related to the movement of cargo. As an innovation group, the team utilizes fail-fast techniques, which reduce expenditures on technologies that may initially appear appealing but ultimately have insufficient business value. BTID focuses on assessing and analyzing new technologies within the parameters of CBP’s business needs and provides a futuristic vision of products and software, enabling the agency to proactively pursue advancements in the technical environment.</p> <p>Since the enactment of the Customs Modernization Act of 1993, U.S. trade volumes have increased from $600 billion to over $2,700 billion per year, with nearly two million low-value shipments entering the country daily.</p> <div alt="Text "US Trade Volume increase"; A map of the USA with map markers; bar graph indicating a rise in Trade Volume since 1993" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{"image_style":"600px_newsroom_body_image","image_link":"","image_loading":{"attribute":"lazy"}}" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d309f453-6d9a-4e8e-bf71-53e604965dc4" data-langcode="en" class="align-center embedded-entity"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/600px_newsroom_body_image/public/inline-images/BTID_Volume%20Increase%20Infographic-02.png.webp?itok=VvENNzqB" alt="Text "US Trade Volume increase"; A map of the USA with map markers; bar graph indicating a rise in Trade Volume since 1993" class="image-style-_00px-newsroom-body-image"> </div> <p>Concurrently, supply chains have become increasingly dynamic and complex. To meet current trade challenges, transformational change is needed to protect American workers and businesses, ensure fair competition, increase transparency and accountability in the supply chain, and enable the swift and secure movement of legitimate goods across the U.S. border.</p>  <div class="grid-row grid-gap-6"> <div class="grid-col-6"> <p>In 2018, CBP entered a joint venture with <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology">Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate</a> to explore the principles of blockchain. In 2019, the focus shifted toward broader ledger concepts, including <strong>Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)</strong>. In 2021, CBP pivoted to <strong>interoperability standards</strong>.</p> <p>CBP is committed to developing and adopting standards for global interoperability among legacy, current, and emerging technologies, including DLTs. Interoperability will allow CBP to receive and transmit data with traditional and non-traditional trade partners in near real-time. For trade, interoperability will provide flexibility to choose the most efficient way to exchange data with CBP. Broad implementation of these standards also aims to future-proof CBP and the private sector, enabling systems to be adapted an enhanced as new technologies emerge.</p> <p>CBP, in collaboration with DHS S&T, under the program heading of the <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology/svip">Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP)</a>, has embarked on five projects testing global interoperability standards in the steel, natural gas, pipeline oil, food safety, and e-commerce sectors. These projects will lay the foundation for ACE 2.0, CBP’s current effort to modernize the  Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). With these advancements, ACE will remain at the forefront of international data exchange and facilitate CBP’s ability to better identify high-risk imports, increase supply chain transparency, verify compliance, and ensure appropriate revenue collection.</p> <p>To learn more about each topic, select the buttons below:</p> </div> <div class="tablet:grid-col-6"> <div class="usa-summary-box"> <div class="usa-summary-box__body"> <h2 class="usa-summary-box__heading">Key Terms</h2> <p><strong>Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT):</strong> a type of database that stores data across a network of computers rather than on a single server.
