Abstract: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)is a Program that provides expedited processing of repetitive entries of merchandise at high-risk locations by prescreening shippers and carriers who chose to participate in this Program. CBP proposes to establish a collection of information for a new program known as the Trusted Trader Program. The Trusted Trader Program will involve a unification of supply chain security aspects of the current C-TPAT Program plus internal controls to integrate supply chain security and trade compliance.
