CTPAT Consulting

CTPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) is a program designed to form a partnership between U.S. Customs & Border Protection and U.S. companies that work in international trade. Through this joint partnership between government and the trade sector, U.S. companies make a voluntary commitment to improving the security of their international supply chains in return for a smoother overall import entry process. The primary incentive of CTPAT is to reduce and/or quickly resolve the usual issues that can interrupt the flow of your supply chain. To certain certified members of the CTPAT program, CBP offers the following benefits:

Reduced number of CBP inspections
Front of the line inspections
Access to the FAST lanes at Canada/Mexico borders
Shorter wait time at borders
Assignment of a CTPAT Supply Chain Specialist (SCSS) who works with the company to validate and enhance security throughout the international supply chain
Eligibility to attend CTPAT supply chain security training seminars
Access to CTPAT web-based portal system and library of training materials
Priority consideration at CBP’s industry-focused Centers of Excellence and Expertise

However, the planning and implementation process can be challenging for an importer to handle independently. This is where Page & Jones can assist our clients by creating dependable processes and procedures that address the minimum security criteria that are the foundation of the CTPAT program. On behalf of our client we can:

Assist in the application process
Advise on writing/creating the security criteria
Perform an assessment to identify gaps
Conduct an audit on current/future CTPAT processes
