The mission of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is to safeguard America’s borders and enhance the nation’s security while facilitating legitimate trade and travel. CBP aims to prevent the entry of illegal goods and contraband, enforce immigration laws, and ensure the smooth flow of goods and people across borders. The agency focuses on protecting the country while supporting economic growth and maintaining lawful and efficient processes.
Easterly Government Properties supports U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through its ownership of the Savannah Laboratory, a 35,000-square-foot, LEED Silver certified facility built in 2013. Designed as a build-to-suit property for the U.S. Government, the laboratory conducts critical chemical and physical testing of commodities, narcotics, and controlled substances. Its specialized testing capabilities for products like sugars and textiles play a vital role in regulating goods passing through the Port of Savannah, one of the country’s busiest trade hubs.
