S F i ht I iti ti (SFI) F tSecure Freight Initiative (SFI) Features
• Provides the ability to scan sea containers for radiological and nuclear materials at foreign seaports
• Builds upon existing security measures
• Provides a more comprehensive assessment of risk
• By July 2012, 100% of U.S. bound containers must be scanned by a non-intrusive imaging system and radiation portal monitornon intrusive imaging system and radiation portal monitor
• CBP will focus initial deployments of SFI scanning/imaging operations to a limited number of strategic locations where the ddi i l d ld h b fi i l dadditional scan data would prove the most beneficial towards
enhancing CBP targeting for high-risk maritime cargo. This strategy is consistent with CBP’s risk-based, layered approach to securing maritime containerized cargo

maritime containerized cargo.
S F i ht I iti ti (SFI) F tSecure Freight Initiative (SFI) Features
• As of October 12th, 2007, CBP met the SAFE Port Act pilot requirement. SFI is fully operational and is currently scanning 100% of U.S. bound containers laden in Port Qasim, Pakistan; Puerto Cortes, Honduras; and Southampton, U.K.
• CBP has also deployed SFI operations on a limited basis to three additional locations; in Hong Kong, (from January–April, 2009), Oman, and South Korea. CBP chose to partner with these ports because they p p ypose different challenges and provide diverse environments in which to evaluate various options, such as high volume and transshipments.
