C-TPAT
Customs & complianceCustoms Trade Partnership Against Terrorism
The US supply chain security programme that gives certified importers and forwarders faster clearance and fewer exams.
In practice
The US equivalent of AEO. Members must meet security criteria across their supply chain. Mutually recognised with Singapore's STP.
Seen in the wild
The consignee is C-TPAT Tier 2, so their containers are lower risk at CBP.
