CBP Did Not Fully Implement the Requirements of the Synthetic Opioid Exposure Prevention and Training Act

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not fully implement the requirements of the Synthetic Opioid Exposure Prevention and Training Act. Specifically, CBP did not: • issue a component-wide policy to safely handle potential synthetic opioids; • make naloxone available or readily accessible to all personnel at risk of exposure to opioids; and • require initial and recurrent training for all personnel at risk of opioid exposure. This happened because CBP did not ensure that the Act’s requirements were implemented.
