Editing Container Security Initiative (section)

==Global impact==
The CSI program offers its participant countries the [[Reciprocity (international relations)|reciprocal]] opportunity to enhance their own incoming shipment security. CSI partners can send their [[customs]] officers to major U.S. ports to target ocean-going, containerized cargo to be [[export]]ed from the U.S. to their countries. Likewise, CBP shares information on a [[Bilateralism|bilateral]] basis with its CSI partners. Japan and [[Canada]] are currently taking advantage of this reciprocity.

CSI has also inspired and informed global measures to improve shipping security. In June 2002, the [[World Customs Organization]] unanimously passed a resolution that will enable ports in all 161 of the member nations to begin to develop programs along the CSI model. On 22 April 2004, the [[European Union]] and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security signed an agreement that calls for the prompt expansion of CSI throughout the [[European Community]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Anonymous|date=2016-09-13|title=United States of America|url=https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/business/international-affairs/international-customs-cooperation-mutual-administrative-assistance-agreements/united-states-america_en|access-date=2021-04-23|website=Taxation and Customs Union – European Commission|language=en}}</ref>
