Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program

The Free and Secure Trade (FAST) program is a partnership between the United States, Canada, and Mexico designed to streamline cross-border trade. It allows trusted carriers, shippers, and importers to expedite the processing of approved shipments by providing pre-arranged customs clearance and security measures. Participants undergo background checks and meet specific security standards, which helps reduce delays at borders while maintaining security. The goal is to facilitate faster, safer trade, supporting economic growth and supply chain efficiency between North American countries.
