 C-TPAT / Fast / Expres
|
Transport Couture, leader in the innovation of transportation and always on the lookout of new services to its customers, is presently partner to FAST / EXPRES program since july 2004.
FAST supports moving pre-approved eligible goods across the border quickly and verifying trade compliance away from the border.
It is a harmonized commercial process offered to pre-approved importers, carriers, and registered drivers. Shipments for approved companies, transported by approved carriers using registered drivers, will be cleared into either country with greater speed and certainty, and at a reduced cost of compliance.
In Canada, FAST builds on the Customs Self-Assessment (CSA) program and its principles of pre-approval and self-assessment, as well as increased security measures under the Partners in Protection (PIP) program. FAST includes aligning the requirements of Canada's PIP program and the U.S. Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program . As part of these programs, companies will have to adopt and implement security procedures to be compatible with guidelines set by both customs agencies.

As International Carrier, Transport Couture is taking part, since summer 2004, in the security programs C-TPAT and PEP established by both the Canadian customs and American customs. As you are probably aware, the security on the border is more and more present.
The C-TPAT is an initiative from both the government and the enterprises to reinforce the security at the borders. This particular program is based upon the participation of all the chain supply partners (importers, carriers, manufacturers) with the aim of assuring the integrity of their safety measures. This program is offered to all the importers and carriers. The importer and/or the carrier needs to provide the US Customs and Border Protection Agency (CPB) with precise and relevant details on their trucks, their drivers, the freight, the suppliers and the routes.
All the participants in the C-TPAT program may have the opportunity to get an accelerated treatment at the border (EXPRES) as well as a decrease on the number of inspections. All the pre-approved EXPRES expeditions may circulate into commercial reserved ways by using the technology of transponders and bar codes (where the facilities exist).
