Summary
Customs Border Security Act of 2004 - Amends the Customs Procedural Reform and Simplification Act of 1978 to authorize appropriations to the Department of Homeland Security for the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (BCBP) and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Authorizes appropriations for salaries and expenses of such Bureaus. (Currently distinguishes authorizations for noncommercial from those for commercial activities of the U.S. Customs Service). Amends the Customs and Border Security Act of 2002 to require establishment and implementation of a cost accounting system for the Bureaus (in lieu of the one currently required for the Customs Service). Directs the Comptroller General to study and report to Congress on the extent to which customs user fees imposed under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 approximate the costs of BCBP services. Declares that certain entries of merchandise shall not be liquidated if covered by an import activity summary statement; but subjects each reconfigured entry in such a statement to liquidation or reliquidation. Extends the designation of San Antonio International Airport for customs processing of certain private aircraft arriving in the United States. Directs the Commissioner of the Customs Service to seek to establish Integrated Border Inspection Areas at the United States-Canada border. Provides for the stationing of foreign customs and agriculture inspection officers in the United States, with all the privileges and immunities of U.S. Customs Service officers. Amends the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 to provide that if a charter air carrier specifically requests that customs services for passengers and their baggage be provided for a charter flight arriving after normal operating hours at a customs border patrol serviced airport, and overtime funds for those services are not available, the appropriate customs border patrol officer may assign sufficient customs employees (if available) to perform any such services. Requires the charter air carrier to pay any overtime fees incurred in connection with such service. Expresses the sense of Congress on interpretation of textile and apparel provisions of specified law. Authorizes appropriations for the U.S. Trade Representative and the U.S. International Trade Commission.
