About This Webinar

Customs and border agencies face mounting pressure to intercept illicit narcotics and enforce trade compliance in real time. From detecting trace drug residues in vehicles and cargo to identifying bulk chemical shipments that may be deliberately mislabeled to evade VAT and tariff requirements, the challenges are complex and growing.

This webinar introduces a layered strategy that leverages cutting-edge field technology to detect trace-level narcotics and verify the identity of bulk chemical substances. Attendees will gain insight into how this integrated approach improves both interdiction and inspection efficiency at ports of entry.

You’ll hear directly from current users of the MX908, who will share how trace-level detection is helping uncover hidden narcotics and precursors in the field. The session will also highlight the power of VipIR’s Smart Spectral Processing (SSP), a next-generation algorithm that fuses Raman and FTIR data to deliver rapid, high-confidence identification of bulk substances even when intentionally mislabeled.

Designed for customs agents, border security personnel, and trade compliance professionals, this session will show how technology-enabled workflows are helping agencies move from reactive to proactive, intelligence-led screening.
