U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched the new CBP Link mobile app, which facilitates certain processes and functions for businesses and travelers entering the United States.

Key Points:

  • CBP Link enables Visa Waiver Program travelers to apply and pay for an I-94 up to seven days before arriving in the U.S.
  • The app also facilitates inspection requests for perishable cargo and manifest submissions by bus operators.
  • Previous users of CBP Home will have their information automatically updated upon download.
  • CBP Link can be downloaded for free on Google Play, the Apple App Store or the CBP website.

Additional Information: Although the CBP Link app has the same functions formerly included in the CBP Home app, the latter will now solely be used for self-deportation.
