customs-trade partnership against terrorism (c-tpat)

Following the events of 9/11, it was apparent that border security needed to be tightened since cargo containers entering and leaving U.S. borders became higher risks to terrorist attacks than ever before. Customs is seeking a strong anti-terrorism partnership with the trade community through Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT). For those who elect to participate, Customs will require that the company implement a program to enhance security throughout their supply chain, in accordance with C-TPAT guidelines. In turn, Customs will assure that its containers cross our nation’s borders more quickly than those that aren’t C-TPAT compliant.

 

An essential part of container security is that it be sealed with a high security bolt or cable seal. The minimum strength characteristics of high security seals such as tensile, shear, bending and impact strengths are outlined in a new guidance called ISO/PAS 17712. This is a publicly available specification that was created by the International Standardization Organization for marine container applications. C-TPAT compliant seals will be determined through ISO/PAS 17712.

 

Brooks has a range of Bolt and Cable seals that comply with the C-TPAT program.
