Who is exempt from a Customs Access Seal in the Customs Security Area?

• A. All federal and uniformed state and local law enforcement personnel and aircraft passengers and crew
• B. Only federal employees
• C. Only state police
• D. No exemptions exist

Answer: (A)

Access to the Customs Security Area is restricted, but some people don’t need the Customs Access Seal because their roles or travel status grant them automatic entry. The exemption covers all federal and uniformed state and local law enforcement personnel, who may need to move through secure zones as part of their duties, and aircraft passengers and crew, who require access to travel and operate within the security area. This combination ensures that those enforcing laws and those aboard aircraft can perform their functions without being hindered by the seal requirement.

The other options are too narrow or incorrect: the exemption isn’t limited to federal employees alone, nor to state police only, and there are exemptions in place (so there are not no exemptions).
