U.S. Customs & Border Protection
The Border force is the British equivalent of the U.S Customs & Border Protection. The Border Force is responsible for immigration and customs controls, securing the border and checking travellers and goods entering the UK. In the United States, these tasks are carried out by the U.S. Customs & Border Protection.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is a US government agency responsible for border security and customs control. The CBP checks whether travellers have a valid passport and a visa or an ESTA. The CBP also inspects goods to ensure that import duties have been paid. CBP is also responsible for combating the smuggling of weapons, drugs or people, as well as illegal activities. CBP also intercepts plants, animals and foodstuffs that could cause disease or harm the environment. Furthermore, CBP is responsible for collecting import and export duties.
Issuing of ESTA authorisations and visas for the United States
CBP is also responsible for issuing ESTAs. The process takes place entirely online. Applications can be submitted via both esta-evisa.co.uk and the CBP website. Once an ESTA application has been submitted, each traveller is assessed individually. US embassies and consulates do not process ESTA applications and cannot answer questions or assist travellers with the application process. For this reason, many travellers choose to apply through a visa agency. This allows them to receive help and assistance throughout the application process.
If you wish to apply for a physical visa for the United States, you can visit the US Embassy in London or Dublin or the Consulate General in Belfast. Applications for physical visas are not processed by CBP, but by the consulates and embassies.
