WASHINGTON — Today, the Department of Homeland Security announced that U
S
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has collected $106
1 billion since President Trump took office
Most of this revenue, $81
5 billion, is a result of the Trump Administration’s tariffs
DHS and CBP are working every day to ensure customs duties and tariffs are collected in full, reaching an above 99
5% success rate
Since the beginning of the Trump Administration, CBP took enforcement action to secure $16
3 billion in additional revenue because of targeted reviews of over 35,000 shipments flagged as high-risk for duty evasion or subject to additional payments owed
“DHS and CBP are successfully implementing President Trump’s historic America First trade agenda,” said a Senior DHS official
“We are proud to help President Trump make America richer and reverse a broken trade system that resulted in millions of jobs shipped overseas and made us dependent on foreign adversaries for essential goods
This administration will always put the American first
