Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)

C-TPAT is a voluntary government-business initiative to build cooperative relationships to strengthen and improve overall international supply chain and U.S. border security. A secure supply chain aids in keeping our country safe. It takes the cooperation and diligence of all parties within the international supply chain to ensure cargo security.

CBP offers many benefits to becoming a certified C-TPAT member. They include:

A reduced number of CBP inspections (reduced border delay times)
Priority processing for CBP inspections. (Front of the Line processing for inspections when possible.)
Assignment of a C-TPAT Supply Chain Security Specialist (SCSS) who will work with the company to validate and enhance security throughout the company's international supply chain.
Potential eligibility for CBP Importer Self-Assessment program (ISA) with an emphasis on self-policing, not CBP audits.
Eligibility to attend C-TPAT supply chain security training seminars.

All companies should verify the security guidelines of their business partners. These guidelines are available on CBP's website. The link is provided below.Please contact us should you require additional C-TPAT information.

If you are a C-TPAT participant, please email your Status Verification Identification Number (SVI) to beth_morris@rogers-brown.com.
