BORDERFORCE USA NOMINATED FOR BEST INTERNATIONAL SALES – THE BROADCAST AWARDS 2020 With Stampede Productions and BossaNova Media returning to the US border for the eighth time in 2026, Borderforce USA continues to grow in scale, intensity and ambition. At the heart of the series are the Customs and Border Protection officers policing the international crossings between the United States and Mexico. But as cartel activity escalates, the challenges they face are becoming more unpredictable, more sophisticated and more dangerous. This season, the border is busier, the smugglers are bolder, and the stakes have never been higher. Behind every vehicle, every traveler and every suspicious package is a story. And in Season 8 of Borderforce USA, officers never know what they’re going to uncover next.

NZ Customs are busy round the clock, seizing large quantities of illicit drugs worth millions of dollars and keeping one step ahead of smugglers’ creative concealments in everything from Shakespeare books, beauty creams and Ganesha paintings. We’re on the shoulder of Biosecurity NZ officers as they inspect passengers for undeclared food items, animal products and endangered species, which all pose a serious risk to New Zealand’s economy. At Auckland International Airport, porcupine quills, an alligator skull and cactus plants are all on the confiscation list. And in Christchurch, huge amounts of undeclared food and fishy tea are stopped just in time. VIEW MORE NEW SERIES NEW SERIES PROGRAMMES 2026 22/23
