What is CTPAT?
United States Customs and Border Protection leads the Customs-Trade Cooperation Against Terrorism (CTPAT), a voluntary, joint government-business partnership for supply chain security and border protection (CBP). Any importers, carriers, consolidators, licensed customs brokers, and manufacturers who want to trade abroad, primarily into the United States, can use CTPAT Certification. It was created with the goal of using a uniform documented procedure to determine and decrease risk throughout their multinational supply chain.
Historically, the organization has focused on imports entering the United States. CTPAT certification is available in the United States to air carriers, consolidators, cross-border highway carriers, marine port authorities, ocean carriers, rail carriers, terminal operators, third-party logistics (3PLs) providers, Customs brokers, and importers.
The CTPAT program was first launched by US Customs and Border Protection in November 2001, with seven significant US corporations as the first participants. Importers who have benefited from the program place a high value on the program. CTPAT certification is available in Canada for cross-border or long-haul highway transporters and manufacturers. It is also possible to certify Mexican manufacturers and cross-border highway carriers.

Why is C-TPAT Important?
When any goods are imported, the CBP assigns an unknown risk value to each shipment such as supplier, country of origin, developed intelligence, type of product, etc. When a C-TPAT certified company imports any goods, the CBP deducts some points from the risk value. Due to this the imported goods are placed in a preferred category. Even if the shipment is needed to be inspected the process is much faster.
This results in reducing the custom fees, inspection fees, cargo fees, faster time to market, and has an immediate effect on the company's bottom line.
