Service Overview
C-TPAT
C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) is a voluntary security program led by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Its primary objective is to mitigate potential risks within the supply chain.
Companies can undergo C-TPAT audits to assess their compliance with CBP's security requirements. These requirements focus on minimum security standards and include securing relationships with business partners.
A C-TPAT audit is a comprehensive review of a company's supply chain security procedures and protocols. This audit verifies that companies seeking membership follow strict security guidelines and actively reduce potential risks throughout their global supply chains.
