CMP Achieves C-TPAT Certification

Following the submission of a completed, comprehensive security-profile, CMP is not a certified partner in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT).

January 3, 2007

C-TPAT Chateauguay, Quebec – The purpose of C-TPAT is to partner with the trade community for the purpose of securing the U.S. and international supply chains from possible intrusion by terrorist organizations.  Since September 11th, 2001, the U.S. and Canada have intensified the importance of border security.  Customs–Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is a voluntary U.S. border security program with an aim to encourage

private industry such as CMP and U.S. Customs & Border Protection (USCBP) to work together to enhance border security.

In early 2006, CMP AMS QC submitted an application and put in place procedures in order to meet or exceed the security criteria of the US Border Protection Agency to be certified C-TPAT.   Benefits of being C-TPAT certified are as follows:

Benefits of the C-TPAT Membership:

  • Known to USCBP by joining the program
  • Faster border processing using the FAST lane
  • Reduced incidence of border inspection
  • Designated USCBP account manager for future preferential programs

Furthermore, C-TPAT requires the trade company participant to document and validate their supply chain security procedures in relation to existing CBP C-TPAT criteria or guidelines as applicable. CBP requires that C-TPAT company participants develop an internal validation process to ensure the existence of security measures documented in their Supply Chain Security Profile and in any supplemental information provided to CBP. As a part of the C-TPAT process, CBP C-TPAT Supply Chain Security Specialists (SCSS) and the C-TPAT participant will jointly conduct a validation of the company’s supply chain security procedures. The validation process is essential to verifying the company’s commitment to C-TPAT.
