CTPAT is widely recognized as one of the most effective means of providing the highest level of cargo security through close cooperation with international supply chain businesses such as importers, carriers, consolidators, licensed customs brokers, and manufacturers.

Trade is concerned that OGA\u2019s will go on fishing expeditions while validating and no guarantees have been made from CBP that OGA\u2019s won\u2019t. This is a major concern for some (rightfully so!). \u2022 CBP is seeking comments regarding its new Trusted Trader Program. Please email any comments here.
