CTPAT: Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism | CTPAT Advisors

CTPAT Certification

Certification

What is the CTPAT Certification?

CTPAT was established in November 2001 by CBP in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The program was designed to strengthen the security of the United States’ supply chain against potential threats while also facilitating the flow of legitimate trade.

This program should be seen as more than just compliance – it is a strategic asset, enhancing your company’s reputation and operational efficiency. As a CTPAT-certified entity, your business is recognized as a secure and reliable partner by CBP.

The CTPAT Certification Process

Our approach to achieving CTPAT certification is thorough and systematic. We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your operations, physical security, policies, and procedures to identify areas that already meet the CTPAT Minimum Security Criteria (MSC) and those that require improvement. Your company will receive all required documentation — including policies, procedures, forms, checklists, and training materials — tailored to your specific operations. We then develop detailed, fully compliant responses for all 150+ sections of the CTPAT Security Profile. Finally, our experienced CTPAT consultants guide you through every stage of implementation, ensuring your business aligns with the rigorous standards set by the CTPAT program and is fully prepared for certification and validation.
