The New Mininum Security Criteria Updates Now Available

Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is but one layer in U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) multi-layered cargo enforcement strategy. Through this program, CBP works with the trade community to strengthen international supply chains and improve United States border security. CTPAT is a voluntary public-private sector partnership program which recognizes that CBP can provide the highest level of cargo security only through close cooperation with the principle stakeholders of the international supply chain such as importers, carriers, consolidators, licensed customs brokers, and manufacturers. The Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006 provided a statutory framework for the CTPAT program and imposed strict program oversight requirements.

A Growing Partnership

From its inception in November 2001, CTPAT continued to grow. Today, more than 11,400 certified partners spanning the gamut of the trade community, have been accepted into the program. The partners include U.S. importers/exporters, U.S./Canada highway carriers; U.S./Mexico highway carriers; rail and sea carriers; licensed U.S. Customs brokers; U.S. marine port authority/terminal operators; U.S. freight consolidators; ocean transportation intermediaries and non‐operating common carriers; Mexican and Canadian manufacturers; and Mexican long‐haul carriers, all of whom account for over 52 percent (by value) of cargo imported into the U.S.

How CTPAT  works

When an entity 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.

CTPAT Benefits

CTPAT Partners enjoy a variety of benefits, including taking an active role in working closer with the U.S. Government in its war against terrorism. As they do this, Partners are able to better identify their own security vulnerabilities and take corrective actions to mitigate risks. Some of the benefits of the program include:

• Reduced number of CBP examinations
• Front of the line inspections
• Possible exemption from Stratified Exams
• Shorter wait times at the border
• Assignment of a Supply Chain Security Specialist to the company
• Access to the Free and Secure Trade (FAST) Lanes at the land borders
• Access to the CTPAT web-based Portal system and a library of training materials
• Possibility of enjoying additional benefits by being recognized as a trusted trade Partner by foreign Customs administrations that have signed Mutual Recognition with the United States
• Eligibility for other U.S. Government pilot programs, such as the Food and Drug Administration’s Secure Supply Chain program
• Business resumption priority following a natural disaster or terrorist attack
• Importer eligibility to participate in the Importer Self-Assessment Program (ISA)
• Priority consideration at CBP’s industry-focused Centers of Excellence and Expertise

How Do I Become a Partner?

Join CTPAT Now

Participation in CTPAT is voluntary and there are no costs associated with joining the program. Moreover, a company does not need an intermediary in order to apply to the program and work with CBP; the application process is easy and it is done online. The first step is for the company to review the CTPAT Minimum Security Criteria for their business entity to determine eligibility for the program. The second step is for the company to submit a basic application via the CTPAT Portal system and to agree to voluntarily participate. The third step is for the company to complete a supply chain security profile. The security profile explains how the company is meeting CTPAT’s minimum security criteria. In order to do this, the company should have already conducted a risk assessment. Upon satisfactory completion of the application and supply chain security profile, the applicant company is assigned a CTPAT Supply Chain Security Specialist to review the submitted materials and to provide program guidance on an on-going basis. The CTPAT program will then have up to 90 days to certify the company into the program or to reject the application. If certified, the company will be validated within a year of certification.

CTPAT MSC公告

CTPAT MSC研讨会

新的最低安全标准更新现已推出

海关反恐贸易伙伴关系（CTPAT）只是美国海关与边境保护局（CBP）多层货物执法策略中的一层。通过该计划，CBP与贸易界合作，以加强国际供应链并改善美国边境安全。CTPAT是一项自愿的公私部门伙伴关系计划，该计划认识到CBP只能通过与国际供应链的主要利益相关方（例如进口商，承运人，集运商，持照报关行和制造商）密切合作，才能提供最高水平的货物安全。2006年《每个港口的安全和责任法案》为CTPAT计划提供了法定框架，并对计划进行了严格的监督。

不断发展的伙伴关系

自2001年11月成立以来，CTPAT一直在增长。如今，已经有超过11,400个跨贸易领域的认证合作伙伴加入了该计划。合作伙伴包括美国进口商/出口商，美国/加拿大高速公路承运人；美国/墨西哥公路运输公司；铁路和海上运输公司；有执照的美国海关经纪人；美国海洋港口管理局/码头经营者；美国货运集散商；海上运输中介机构和非经营性共同承运人；墨西哥和加拿大的制造商；和墨西哥的长途运输公司，它们全部占进口到美国的货物的52％（按价值计算）

CTPAT如何运作

当实体加入CTPAT时，将与CBP达成协议以保护供应链，发现安全漏洞并实施特定的安全措施和最佳实践。申请人必须解决广泛的安全性主题，并提供安全性概要文件，其中列出了行动计划，以使整个供应链的安全性保持一致。

CTPAT成员被认为是低风险的，因此不太可能在美国入境口岸接受检查。

CTPAT的好处

CTPAT合作伙伴享有各种好处，包括在与美国政府的反恐战争中保持密切合作发挥积极作用。通过这样做，合作伙伴可以更好地识别自己的安全漏洞，并采取纠正措施来减轻风险。该计划的一些好处包括：

• 减少CBP检查次数
• 线前检查
• 可能免除分层考试
• 边境等待时间更短
• 向公司分配供应链安全专家
• 进入陆地边界的自由贸易通道（FAST）
• 访问基于CTPAT的Web门户系统和培训资料库
• 通过与美国签署互认协议的外国海关管理部门认可为可信赖的贸易伙伴，可以享受额外的利益
• 符合其他美国政府试点计划的资格，例如食品和药物管理局的安全供应链计划
• 自然灾害或恐怖袭击后恢复营业的优先级
• 进口商有资格参加进口商自我评估计划（ISA）
• CBP以行业为中心的卓越和专长中心的优先考虑

我如何成为合作伙伴？

立即加入CTPAT

参加CTPAT是自愿的，加入该计划不会产生任何费用。此外，公司不需要中介人即可申请该计划并与CBP合作；申请过程很容易，并且可以在线完成。第一步是公司要审查其企业实体的CTPAT最低安全标准，以确定该计划的资格。第二步是让公司通过CTPAT Portal系统提交基本申请并同意自愿参加。第三步是让公司完成供应链安全配置文件。安全配置文件说明了公司如何满足CTPAT的最低安全标准。为此，公司应该已经进行了风险评估。圆满完成申请和供应链安全配置文件后，将为申请公司分配CTPAT供应链安全专家，以审查提交的材料并持续提供计划指导。然后，CTPAT计划将有长达90天的时间来证明公司加入该计划或拒绝该申请。如果获得认证，则公司将在认证后一年内通过验证。
