ADVERTISEMENTS

For those of you who may not know, C-TPAT is a voluntary program under which members agree to undertake reasonable steps to secure their supply chain from container stuffing to delivery to the ultimate consignee.  The program requires considerations of physical security to the merchandise, plant location security, network access security, and personnel policies including background checks at hiring and appropriate measures when an employee leaves.

The benefits of membership include fewer intensive examinations at the time of entry and the possible participation in the Importer Self Assessment program.

And, as they say, that's it in a nutshell.  If this is new to you, visit here.
