UPS® (NYSE: UPS), a global logistics provider and leading advocate for global trade, customs and security, commends the House of Representatives for passing the Amendment to H.R. 5788, the “Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention Act of 2018” (STOP Act). UPS also applauds the leadership of Chairman Kevin Brady and Ranking Member Neal for reaching a bipartisan, bicameral agreement that will close the global postal loophole and require all foreign packages to include Advance Electronic Data (AED), as the private carriers already do. AED is an essential tool for Customs and Border Protection to protect our borders.
