CDG provides C-TPAT certification services in India.

C-TPAT is a United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) initiative that stands for Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism. C-TPAT is a voluntary program where participants work to protect supply chains from the concealment of terrorist weapons including weapons of mass destruction.  

This partnership is for organizations involved in the global supply chain including United States importers, customs brokers, terminal operators, carriers and foreign manufacturers.  

Companies wishing to be C-TPAT participants must complete an application and conduct a self-assessment of their supply chain security procedures against the C-TPAT criteria or guidelines jointly developed by CBP and the trade community. Upon satisfactory completion of the online application, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection C-TPAT Supply Chain Security Specialist will contact the participant to begin the validation process. 

How does C-TPAT work?  

When a business joins C-TPAT, an agreement is made to work with CBP to protect the supply chain, identify security gaps, and implement specific security measures and best practices. In general, there are three steps to C-TPAT certification:  

The C-TPAT candidate conducts and fully documents a security risk assessment  

The company then submits a basic application via the C-TPAT portal system  

The third step is for the company to complete a security profile explaining how they are meeting C-TPAT criteria.
