Bill Summary
A BILL To analyze the impacts of establishing U.S. Customs and Border Protection Preclearance facilities in Taiwan and in other Indo-Pacific countries.
AI Summary
This bill, the Taiwan Preclearance Act, analyzes the potential impacts of establishing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) preclearance facilities in Taiwan and other Indo-Pacific countries. Preclearance stations allow CBP officers to inspect travelers before they board U.S.-bound flights, and the bill finds that such a program in Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport would signal Taiwan's importance to the United States and compliance with international aviation rules. The bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, to submit a report analyzing the feasibility and advisability of a preclearance facility in Taiwan, as well as the potential impacts on trade, tourism, business travel, cost savings, government collaboration, and CBP staffing.
