United States Customs and Border Protection officials in New York and Washington say that if Mr. Diomande had followed regulations precisely, an entry form filed with a Customs broker would have spelled out what was being imported. In March 2003, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, inspectors from Customs merged with inspectors from the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Department of Agriculture's Animal Plant Health Inspection Service to form a unified border agency. It was called Customs and Border Protection, a part of the Department of Homeland Security.
