Powering Performance

Dear CTPAT Member,

All partners are aware that CTPAT implemented the new Minimum Security Criteria (MSC) in 2020. The CTPAT security profile was taken offline for several months in order to update the security profile with the new MSC.  The security profile is now back online and open for new submissions. Per the CTPAT partnership agreement, partners must complete and submit an updated security profile once a year. The CTPAT anniversary date is used as the security profile due date.  The anniversary date is located on the main login screen once you log into your CTPAT account. All security profile questions were uploaded to the Public Library several months ago in order for each company to prepare for this transition.  In addition, each company has a security profile PDF document in the Partner Document Exchange section of the portal for easy reference to the last profile that was completed.

WASHINGTON— To help coordinate implementation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which enters into force on July 1, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recently opened the USMCA Center.
