The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (“C-TPAT”) and Container Security Initiative (“CSI”) are recognized as U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (“CBP’s”) primary supply-chain cargo security initiatives. CBP uses these programs in conjunction with pre-shipment trade data filing programs and automated targeting and detection systems to help prevent illegal flows of cargo of all types into the United States. As C-TPAT and CSI enter their seventh year of operation, CBP continues to expand and refine them.
