What is C-TPAT Certification? 

C-TPAT certification stands for Customers-Trade Partnership against Terrorism. This compliance is required for supply chain management for firms sending goods into the US. The US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) brought out this certification to ensure that security compliance is maintained for private sector companies that supply/ import goods and services in America. 

 This certification was introduced in 2001 with several industrial participants to ensure compliance is maintained under several anti-terrorist laws.  The C-TPAT Certification would apply to producers of goods and services within the USA.
