Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism guidelines

The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is a voluntary program where businesses and government work together to improve supply chain security. Companies that join agree to follow certain security standards, like screening shipments and controlling access to their facilities, to prevent terrorist activities. By doing so, they help ensure that goods moving across borders are safer and that risks are minimized. C-TPAT fosters collaboration and trust between the government and companies, streamlining customs processes and enhancing overall security without delaying trade.
