On Monday June 16, 2014, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in collaboration with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), published a Federal Register Notice announcing the testing of the Trusted Trader program – a new program that will streamline the process through which importers can demonstrate that they strive to secure their supply chains and strengthen their internal controls for trade compliance.
This test of the Trusted Trader program aims to move toward a whole of government approach to supply chain security and trade compliance by strengthening government collaboration.
CBP seeks to encourage entities through incentives not currently available to members participating in both Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and Importer Self-Assessment (ISA) to secure their supply chains and strengthen their internal controls for compliance with existing laws and regulations.
