C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) & PIP (Partners in Protection)

Cole International's consultants will help you navigate the complex and ever-changing border security issues that have become the norm since 9/11. C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and PIP (Partners in Protection) are joint initiatives aimed at strengthening supply chain and border security by building cooperative relationships between US Customs and businesses. Through the C-TPAT and PIP initiatives, Customs asks businesses to ensure the integrity of their security practices and communicate their security guidelines to business partners within the supply chain.

To help you develop and implement a program to enhance security across the supply chain, Cole International undertakes all aspects of the application and acceptance processes for the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism and Partners in Protection programs.

Each year, members of C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and PIP (Partners in Protection) must report their ongoing commitment to security, and security profile and policy updates must be submitted to Canada or US Customs or both. Through our Security Maintenance Program, Cole International proactively manages your maintenance requirements for the C-TPAT and PIP security programs.
