BIVAC North America (Bureau Veritas Group) accepted by US CBP as a "C-TPAT Third Party validator"

China Pilot Presentation

The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is, beyond question, the largest and most successful government-private sector partnership to emerge from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Today, more than 10 000 companies -critical players in the global Supply Chain- have applied for membership, and more than 6 000 have been accepted as certified partners.

Since the beginning, the guiding principles for C-TPAT have been voluntary participation and jointly developed security criteria, best practices and implementation procedures.

C-TPAT partners are working cooperatively with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to secure their Supply Chain from illegal devices. In exchange, CBP provides reduced inspections at the port of arrival, expedited processing at the border and other significant benefits.

By effect of the "Security and Accountability For Every Port Act of 2006" or "Safe Port Act" signed by the President on October 13, 2006, BIVAC NA has been accepted  by CBP as a "C-TPAT Third Party validator"  to provide audit and inspections services on behalf of CBP for Supply Chains located in China.
