In the realm of global trade, security and efficiency are paramount. The Customs‑Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT), a voluntary supply chain security program led by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), strengthens international supply chains and improves U.S. border security.
CTPAT certification is awarded to companies that demonstrate a robust security protocol within their supply chains. Participants include importers, carriers, consolidators, logistics providers, and manufacturers—showing commitment to protecting against terrorism, smuggling, and other illegal activities.
The process involves a comprehensive application and security analysis, implementing measures such as container and physical security, personnel vetting, access controls, and security training.
Benefits include expedited processing, fewer CBP examinations, and priority during border delays—translating to time and cost savings.
Borderworx’s CTPAT status enhances service delivery—streamlined, secure logistics with reduced inspection risk and faster shipping times.
