The objective of C-TPAT certification is to
develop and implement a sound plan to enhance security procedures of
your company in 4 main areas, namely:
- Procedural Security
- Documentation Processing
- Personnel Security
- Education and Training Awareness
To start the certification process, the "Agreement to Voluntarily
Participate in Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism" has to be
signed by the company.
Within 60 days after signing the above
mentioned Agreement of Understanding, the so-called Security Profile
Questionnaire has to be issued. Customs will provide feedback to the
company within the next 30 days (read 60 days, at present time)
Lalandia will act as you liaison for C-TPAT matter with the Customs & Border
Protection and coordinate and issue the final C-TPAT Supply Chain
Security Profile Questionnaire. In fact, Lalandia will act as you
Company Security Officer (CSO).
Lalandia will take you company from A
to Z during the C-TPAT certification period, undertake the initial
security assessment of your company and assist in answering
the C-TPAT Supply Chain Security Profile Questionnaire apart from
communicating and collect information about your service vendors and
