C-TPAT – Enhanced Supply Chain Security
Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certification is a distinguishing attribute that the Nogales, Mexico facility possesses, which provides our customers strategic advantage and peace of mind. C-TPAT is a supply-chain security program led by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) focused on improving supply-chain security of companies with respect to terrorism.
Companies who achieve C-TPAT certification must have a documented process for determining and alleviating risk throughout their global supply chain, along with required facility security measures and procedures. C-TPAT-certified companies are considered low risk, resulting in expedited processing of their cargo and border crossings. Under the C-TPAT umbrella, CBP and members of the trade community work together to ensure secure and expedient movement of legitimate international trade.
The C-TPAT program focuses on improving security throughout the supply chain, beginning at the point of origin (including manufacturer, supplier, or vendor) through a point of distribution to the destination. C-TPAT certified partners, must implement certain security procedures throughout their supply chains to protect those supply chains from terrorist infiltration and other illegal activities that threaten the security of the United States.
C-TPAT certified partners who undertake these protections receive preferential processing by CBP. As a result, the program helps CBP achieve its dual goals of enhancing National security while facilitating the coordinated flow of legitimate global trade.
