Miller, Beyer Introduce Secure Revenue Clearance Channel Act

Washington, D.C. - This week, Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA) introduced The Secure Revenue Clearance Channel Act. This bill addresses the growing backlog of goods at America's express ports by fostering close cooperation between express carriers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This crucial legislation will allow low-value shipments to move quickly to their final destinations while ensuring the collection of tariffs and halting the flow of fentanyl and other illicit goods.

"Shipments have recently faced significant backlogs at our ports of entry. This bill creates a critical mechanism to help small businesses, manufacturers, and hardworking Americans by allowing express shippers to move goods more efficiently through the system, while also cutting unnecessary penalties and fees that slow commerce and raise costs. I am committed to supporting our supply chains while ensuring shipments enter our country securely and responsibly, with strong safeguards in place to keep dangerous and illicit products far from our communities," said Congresswoman Miller.

''In recent months, American consumers and small businesses have suffered as their goods, particularly lower cost but still time-sensitive items, have been held up waiting to be cleared by Customs. The expedited shipping channel this bill creates would help resolve this growing problem while also maintaining a high level of security at our ports of entry to keep out drugs, counterfeits, and other illicit products," said Congressman Beyer.
