Customs222,

You can check out the "official" Customs Inspector job description at www.usajobs.opm.gov. You will find it under Treasury Dept. Customs

You will see that there is NO polygraph required for the job

Good Luck

Fred,
I may be wrong, but the customs seminar I last attended, I obtained the "customs agent" application package and in it is stated that Polygraph was required. I'll look again at it in the morning to be sure.

Customs "agents" and "inspectors" BTW are two differant positions. One is uniformed, and the other is not.

Thanks Special agents are required to pass a polygraph. US Customs inspectors/Canine handlers are NOT required to pass one. HTH.
