Centralized Examination Stations (CES) play a critical role in the import process into the United States, particularly at major ports like Port Newark. These facilities are designated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to conduct thorough inspections of imported goods, including agricultural products. The primary goal of CES is to streamline the inspection process, ensuring that all regulatory and safety standards are met without causing significant delays to the supply chain.
