Procedure for Application for a C-TPAT Certification 

The application process is done through an online C-TPAT Certification portal. The designated officer will fill in the application in the C-TPAT portal. 

The Company Portal Section will ask for information such as address and relevant contact information of the company. 

Once this is completed, the "Submit" button must be clicked. 

When this is finished, an account is created on the C-TPAT certification portal. 

The designated officer must fill the company information in the designated Security Profile. 

In the security profile, there is a section known as the Supply Chain Security Specialist (SCSS), which will check the requirement if the company or entity meets the eligibility criteria for the certification. 

Once this is done, the company will become a member of the C-TPAT. 

THE SCSS will contact your company to conduct an information audit to understand if the requirements have been complied with for the C-TPAT certification. 

If the SCSS finds the practices adopted by your company meet the minimum-security requirements, then Tier- II status will be granted to your company. 

After this is carried out, your company can enjoy the full benefits of the C-TPAT certification. Regulatory Authority for the C-TPAT Certification 

The primary regulatory authority for C-TPAT Certification is the US Customs and Border Protection.  The C-TPAT certification allows the exporter to secure the benefits of different programs provided by other customs and border protection authorities. 

Securing the Global Supply Chain 

Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is a voluntary government-business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen and improve overall international supply chain and U.S. border security. 

C-TPAT recognizes that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can provide the highest level of cargo security only through close cooperation with the ultimate owners of the international supply chain such as importers, carriers, consolidators, licensed customs brokers, and manufacturers. 

As a partner to the U.S. authorities, we check companies exporting goods from China to the United States. Whether your company manufactures, supplies, or ships goods and services, we will support you on the path to successful certification. CDG is a leading C-TPAT Certification Company in India.
