At ST STRATEGO we have a consolidated track record in managing and obtaining the C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) certification, a voluntary partnership program administered by the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which recognizes companies in the international supply chain that meet high security standards in their foreign trade operations. We have accompanied companies from different sectors – importers, exporters, carriers and logistics service providers – in obtaining and maintaining this certification.

The C-TPAT certification process requires accreditation to the U.S. authority of compliance with minimum security standards in terms of business partners, transportation security, physical access control, personnel security, process security, cybersecurity, and security awareness training, in accordance with the Minimum Security Criteria established by CBP. The correct integration of the security profile and the verifiable implementation of each item are decisive for the successful obtaining and renewal of the certification.

For this reason, at ST STRATEGO we accompany our clients throughout the process: from the initial diagnosis of security breaches, the implementation of the required controls and protocols, the preparation of the corresponding security profile, to the attention of the validation practiced by the U.S. authority.

The cases presented below are just a representative sample of the hundreds of C-TPAT certification processes that we have successfully managed throughout our history, for importers, exporters, shippers, and other actors in the international supply chain.

Our work processes are certified under the ISO 9001:2015 Standard, which guarantees our clients the rigorous, traceable and consistent handling of each file, from the initial diagnosis to obtaining the corresponding certification.

Likewise, we have proven experience in the public and private sectors, which allows us to understand the criteria and technical standards that the authority applies in the evaluation of this type of certification, and with it, anticipate the necessary requirements for an efficient management of the process.

Below is documentary evidence of some of the C-TPAT certification cases obtained for our clients.
