    The Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking to enhance international trade visibility and traceability through the Global Business Identifier (GBI) Test. This DRAFT Statement of Work outlines a project aimed at evaluating the utility of supply chain identifiers in improving the agency's trade compliance and enforcement capabilities. The GBI Test will analyze third-party verification data to filter low-risk imports, optimize costs, and boost compliance for legitimate trade entities. The former Manufacturer/Shipper Identification Number (MID) system has been supplemented by the GBI Test, allowing voluntary participants to submit additional identifiers, such as DUNS numbers, with entry filings. This initiative, which follows recent trade legislation, is set to evaluate supply chain data while addressing the complexities of modern global trade. The project will involve collaboration between CBP and a contractor to ensure robust data acquisition and management, with a focus on maintaining security protocols. The deliverables include technical support, ongoing updates, and maintaining data confidentiality, establishing a framework for future trade compliance initiatives. Overall, the GBI Test is designed to bolster U.S. government oversight of imports and facilitate legitimate trade practices.
