C-TPAT
About C-TPAT
The
Customs-Trade Partnership against Terrorism (C-TPAT) was launched by
the U.S. in 2001 to strengthen overall supply chain and border security
by encouraging companies to enhance their security programs.
The
C-TPAT program allows the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
designate companies as low risk and therefore less likely to be
examined at border crossings. This designation is based on a company's
past customs compliance history, and a validation of its supply chain
security profile.
Impact for Canadian Exporters
Although
C-TPAT is voluntary program, some business opportunities in the U.S.
are being restricted to those with a C-TPAT certification. Some
of the other benefits of being C-TPAT compliant are:
- Reductions in border inspections;
- Reductions in border clearance times allowing for predictable transit times and transportation costs;
- Priority movement across the border even during a red alert;
- Reduced compliance costs with customs requirements;
- Access to the FAST lanes at the Canadian/US border;
- Improved security in the work place;
- Reductions in cargo theft.
