CTPAT Certification Benefits for U.S. Importers, By obtaining CTPAT certification, your company can, Help the CBP carry out cargo security measures more effectively, Improve your own supply chains security standards, and Secure benefits for your business, such as a faster customs entry process. Here we will discuss what the CTPAT cargo enforcement strategy is, its certification process, and the benefits it provides member companies for their participation. What is CTPAT? CTPAT is a voluntary public private sector partnership program aimed at strengthening international supply chains and improving Indian security. The program is based on the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006. CTPAT Strategy , Because international supply chains operate outside of the CBPs control, the agency largely relies on a variety of private sector companies with a variety of perspectives to help the CBP identify security gaps and implement security measures and best practices. CTPAT certified members include importers and exporters, U.S., Canadian, and Mexican highway carriers, rail, sea and air carriers, licensed U.S. Customs brokers, U.S. marine port authority and terminal operators, U.S. freight consolidators, ocean transportation intermediaries, and Mexican and Canadian manufacturers. Three Steps to CTPAT Certification, Step 1. The applicant must review the CTPAT Minimum Security Criteria for their business entity such as an Air Carrier or Foreign Manufacturer to determine that entities particular eligibility requirements. Step 2. The company must apply for membership through the CTPAT Portal system. Step 3. The company must complete a supply chain security profile. In order to complete a supply chain security profile, a company must have already conducted a comprehensive risk assessment analysis of its supply chain to show how each link meets the minimum security requirements. The best way to ensure completion of this risk assessment is through a third party organization that specializes in CTPAT standard supply chain audits. What are the Benefits of CTPAT Certification? Above all, the greatest benefit of CTPAT certification is the opportunity to contribute to U.S. cargo security against terrorism and greater protection of your supply chain. Additionally, the CTPAT program provides business positive incentives such as, Shorter border wait times, Access to the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) Lanes at the land borders, Priority inspections following a natural disaster or terrorist attack, Reduced number of CBP inspections, Trusted Partner recognition, Eligibility for other U.S. government pilot programs, and Access to the CTPAT web based Portal system and a library of training materials. The Benefit, A reduced number of CBP inspections is of particular benefit for larger importing companies companies that routinely bring in a dozen or more crates at a time. If one out of 20 crates draws CBP attention and requires a minor, but extended inspection effort, the agency will be more likely to give CTPAT certified companies the benefit of the doubt and allow the other crates through. Member companies, considered to be low risk by the CBP, can save themselves exponential amounts of additional bondage and inspection time.
