how convoluted the system is.

WAY WAY back in the earlier part of my fed career, in the '80s and '90s I did some training details doing imports stuff and eventually got to visit our ports here in Philly, Dundalk in MD, "the Bridge" (Ambassador Bridge) in Detroit, and Blaine in WA state at the Canadian border.

Our agency worked with Customs (it was easier before they got thrown into DHS) when it came to our regulated products, which involved our "MAY PROCEED" or "REFUSAL", etc., decisions, and it was basically head-exploding keeping track of who was who.
