The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is a voluntary partnership between Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the supply chain to secure international trade. In return for logistic partners meeting C-TPAT requirements, CBP offers C-TPAT certified shipments expedited processing as well as other benefits.
The Customs Self-Assessment (CSA) is a CBSA program that gives approved importers the benefits of a streamlined accounting and payment process for all imported goods. As an alternative clearance stream for low-risk, high-volume imports, CSA shifts customs accounting and payment away from single transactions in favor of an approach based on monthly reporting. CSA is the first step in becoming FAST-approved northbound into Canada. Much like FAST, the carrier, driver, and importer all must be CSA-approved.
Free And Secure Trade - A commercial clearance program designed to ensure safety and security while expediting legitimate cross-border trade.
Partners in Protection (PIP) is a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) program that enlists the cooperation of private industry to enhance border and trade security, combat organized crime, and terrorism by helping detect and prevent contraband smuggling.
