C-TPAT Update • Trusted Trader Program • TSA / C-TPAT • AEO / Mutual Recognition • Export Program • National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security
Trusted Trader • Concept to bring together “Security” and “Compliance” • Designed to bring those Partners with strong concepts in both arenas to a new incentive level. • Future concept will be to bring Other Government Agencies (OGA’s) into the supply chain loop and create a more linear approach. • OGA’s to include FDA, CPSC and others. Can we tie multiple releases into one system?
TSA/C-TPAT Initiative • Initiative to allow each agency to share information as well as perform validations based on each other’s criteria. • TSA’s validation process based on regulatory law, not voluntary criteria such as C-TPAT. • Concept would lead to less government intrusion and disruption of operations to partner.
C-TPAT’s International Strategy • Partnering with the international trade community to help secure global supply chains. • Partnering with individual Customs administrations. • Support the work of international organizations such as the World Customs Organization (WCO) and the Asia Pacific Economic Council (APEC). • Support the work of private sector organizations to improve the security and integrity requirements of their membership.
C-TPAT Export Concept Objective: • To support the President’s National Export Initiative and the National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security. • Align C-TPAT to be more compatible with the WCO’s Framework and global Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programs. • Ensure that the benefits from current and future Mutual Recognition Arrangement’s (MRA) are reciprocal. • In today’s Just-in-Time environment a delay could represent a considerable monetary loss for U.S. exporters
C-TPAT Export Concept Background: • C-TPAT was established as an importer-focused program. • C-TPAT importers are vetted through export systems. • C-TPAT validation site visits reveal deficiencies in members’ global supply chain security to include export procedures. • C-TPAT denies membership, suspends and/or removes companies for export violations. • Just recently three companies have been suspended for International Traffic in Arms Violations.
C-TPAT Export Concept • Current Incentives/Benefits: • Eligible C-TPAT Tier 2 and Tier 3 Importers are able to receive benefits when exporting cargo to Japan and the European Union. • C-TPAT Tier 2 and Tier 3 Importers must ensure the following: • Company Officer signs the Export Operations Agreement. (2.19 in the Portal) • Checks the Mutual Recognition (MR) Agreement box in the Portal. (3.8.1) • Checks the MR Program boxes. (3.8.2) • The export incentives/benefits with The EU is automated. (2.20) • European Union AEO & CBP/C-TPAT FAQshttp://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/cargo_security/ctpat/ctpat_program_information/international_efforts/
C-TPAT Export Concept • Current Incentives/Benefits: (cont) • We are currently in the process of getting incentives for C-TPAT Importers who export to Canada. • C-TPAT will collaborate with the trade community and current MRA Countries for input & ideas to develop an Export Pilot Program. • Future MRA’s will have these incentives discussed and negotiated prior to signing.
EU: Initiating Benefits, Notes: • Automated Data Exchange • As of today, C-TPAT only has an automated data exchange process with the EU. • C-TPAT’s goal is to make every MRA data exchange automated in the future. • Manual Data Exchange with Japan • C-TPAT generates a report for Japan’s AEO with companies who have completed the necessary export sections and checked the Japan box in section 3.8.2 (see previous slide). • The report is compiled and sent to Japan’s AEO, who sends C-TPAT HQ the 12 digit export codes that are to be used when exporting cargo to Japan. • The 12 digit codes for Japan are location specific. Ensure that the proper code is filed upon entry to Japan for the correct U.S. location.
