CONTAINER SECURITY INSPECTION/SEALS/STORAGE
Re: C-TPAT - Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism
Dear Customer/Service Provider:
We are participating in the U.S. Customs security recommendations program known as C-TPAT
(Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism). C-TPAT
is a voluntary initiative between
U.S. Customs and the international trade community to develop a more secure border without
restricting the flow of imports into the United States. In an effort to ensure that our customers
and service providers have procedures in place to maintain container and trailer security,
whether C-TPAT members or not, we ask you to review the C-TPAT guidelines concerning
container, tractor and trailer and seal security.
All containers, tractors and trailers arriving at a facility should have documentation verified and
seal number verified and inspected for tampering. All seals used to secure loaded containers
must meet or exceed the current PAS/ISO 17712 standards. In addition, the following 7-Point
container Inspection and 17-Point tractor and trailer Inspection and the 6-Point
Seal Inspection
should be conducted as follows:
If you are not currently participating in the C-TPAT program, we encourage you to review
the requirements and benefits outlined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at www.cbp.gov
online application for C-TPAT is available.
If you have any questions, please call (201) 656-9020. Thank you for your prompt attention
to this request.

NOTE: The
purpose of a "security" Inspection Is to check for hidden compartments, false walls/floors or areas where
merchandise, persons or illegal contraband can be hidden and/or disguised by the shipment being loaded. Personnel
should be trained to correctly perform and document all inspections. Security Inspections can be incorporated
as rt of the existing inspections conducted for safety, damage and cleanliness. The company should provide personnel
responsible for the inspections with appropriate measuring tools (i.e. rubber mallet,
mirrors for undercarriage) to
effectively complete the task.
***Unsatisfactory containers must not be used at any time. If container is altered or tampered with, it must be
immediately reported to the proper authorities. Reports of damage should be confirmed before loading.
