Border agency funds cover customs work in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
What the document says“shall be available for customs expenses when necessary to maintain operations and prevent adverse personnel actions in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, in addition to funding provided by sections 740 and 1406i of title 48, United States Code.”
Section 228. The border agency's operations and procurement money is available for customs expenses in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands where that is needed to keep operations running and to prevent adverse personnel actions. The section says this funding is in addition to that provided by sections 740 and 1406i of title 48.
What the document actually says“shall be available for customs expenses when necessary to maintain operations and prevent adverse personnel actions in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, in addition to funding provided by sections 740 and 1406i of title 48, United States Code.”
Border agency money may pay for customs work in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. That keeps the work going and staff in place.
Those islands fund some customs work from their own accounts. When that falls short, this money may fill the gap.
