The commercial vehicle pre-clearance facility will facilitate the most efficient interstate truck travel in the United States, as well as border crossings with Mexico and Canada. Through the development and implementation of such a facility, it will be possible to:
- Pre-weigh and apply anticipated interstate fees to avoid extended stops and unnecessary fines
- Coordinate with Mexican, Canadian, and U.S. Customs officials for pre-clearance for border crossings
- Utilize current technological innovations to maximize the cost/benefit for interstate truck travel
- Attract economically beneficial real estate and business relocation and development
- Serve as an interstate anti-terrorism watchdog and conjoin modern technologies with border security
This component will allow companies to fulfill and receive 'just in time' deliveries, saving both time and money.
This facility would also include safety and security measures regarding the cargo moving to and through the area. The safety and security of U.S. citizens and our nation's borders are a top priority for elected officials. As methods to ensure safety and security are continually enhanced and upgraded, it is necessary to appropriately monitor and implement procedures that more effectively ensure the safe and secure passage and transfer of international trade and cargo. The International Inland Port of Dallas is committed to the highest standards of safety and security.
