WASHINGTON – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the agency’s 2024-2025 plan to accelerate testing and adoption of global interoperability standards, kicking off a new testing phase for innovative trade technology. The agency will work with private and public sector partners during the 2024 testing phase this fall, leading up to international testing in 2025.

Interoperability is the ability of different computer systems and software to communicate with each other. Interoperability standards are detailed guidelines for software development that enable different systems to connect and exchange data. CBP is focusing its efforts on select standards established through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These standards will increase supply chain transparency and set the stage for faster, more secure data sharing by enabling federal agencies to safely exchange data with traditional and non-traditional trade entities worldwide, in near real-time.
