Course Overview

Basic-level course designed to meet the CTPAT requirements for all employees who must understand, perform or otherwise comply with operational security measures. It will encompass all of the minimum security focus areas and the categories that “must” be met. We begin with the requirements for all CTPAT members and their business partners. The course continues by discussing the benefits, eligibility requirements, and specific criteria for customs brokers and ends with those specified for importers. The information regarding importers is included because MSC 12.5 requires that customs brokers must be able to explain CTPAT’s security requirements to their importer clients, apprise them of critical program developments, and encourage them to become CTPAT members.
