  1. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) enforces strict regulations on imported goods, especially food cans and oil barrels, because drug cartels have developed sophisticated methods to smuggle illegal substances. One major concern is that traffickers could hide drugs like cocaine, fentanyl, or synthetic substances inside sealed containers, making them undetectable by drug-sniffing dogs. To counteract this, the U.S. government imposes higher import taxes and stricter inspections on shipments from certain countries, including China, Canada, and Mexico. These measures are designed to discourage smuggling attempts and ensure national security. Even if foreign governments argue that their shipments contain no illegal drugs, CBP remains cautious, as traffickers are constantly evolving their tactics. The goal is to prevent dangerous substances from entering the U.S., regardless of international complaints. US have to spend more money developing new AI X-Rays.
