CBP Announces C-TPAT Security Link Portal
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced the implementation of a new C-TPAT Internet Application and Communications Portal. The C-TPAT Security Link Portal, which is intended to improve the processing and communication for all C-TPAT participants, will be mandatory. The C-TPAT Portal will permit authorized users to:
- Enter new applications;
- Submit information updates and add new information to their C-TPAT file;
- Maintain a “living” Supply Chain Security Profile that can be updated as needed and must be updated and re-certified on a yearly basis;
- Communicate directly with CBP C-TPAT and/or their designated C-TPAT Supply Chain Security Specialists using a secure system;
- Receive information directly from CBP to include cargo security alerts and sanitized intelligence information; and
- Maintain a list of authorized users.
