What is Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)?
Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is a joint initiative between U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and business to build cooperative relationships that strengthen overall supply chain and border security. FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL are C-TPAT certified, providing assurance of our guidelines and practices to customs as well as our suppliers and customers. Learn more from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at www.cbp.gov or from FedEx Trade Networks at /us/services/ftn/C-TPAT.
C-TPAT is a voluntary government-business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen and improve overall international supply chain and U.S. border security. C-TPAT recognizes that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can provide the highest level of cargo security only through close cooperation with the ultimate owners of the international supply chain such as importers, carriers, consolidators, licensed customs brokers, and manufacturers. Through this initiative, CBP is asking businesses to ensure the integrity of their security practices and communicate and verify the security guidelines of their business partners within the supply chain.
