A border processing facility enables the complete execution of customs and border formalities for cross-border goods movement. These comprehensively equipped installations feature specialized areas for document review, cargo inspection (inspection stations, temporary storage warehouses), hazardous goods laboratories, measuring equipment, and integrated IT systems for customs declaration and risk assessment. Larger facilities operate at high-traffic crossings (ports, airports, highway border checkpoints) and maintain specialized staff around the clock. They differ from smaller border control posts through their operational capacity, infrastructure, and organizational complexity.
