When a supplier joins CTPAT, an agreement is made to work with CBP to protect the supply chain, identify security gaps, and implement specific security measures and best practices. Applicants must address a broad range of security topics and present security profiles that list action plans to align security throughout the supply chain. 

 CTPAT members are considered to be of low risk and are therefore less likely to be examined at a U.S. port of entry.
