 9/22/2008 Gateway International Transport, Inc., OverOceans, Inc., Gateway Clearance Services, Inc. Gateway International Transport, Inc.: On behalf of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), I am pleased to welcome Gateway International Transport, Inc., OverOceans, Inc., Gateway Clearance Services, Inc. as a certified partner in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) program. By participating with CBP, you are making a vital contribution to help us secure our borders and ensure the continued free flow of international trade.
Your role as a C-TPAT partner is to continue to ensure that appropriate security measures, based upon risk analysis and consistent with C-TPAT security criteria, are maintained in a documented and verifiable format throughout your international supply chains. C-TPAT partners must also have a documented and verifiable process for the selection of business partners and ensure that these business partners develop security procedures consistent with C-TPAT security criteria.
To meet these obligations and the security standards established under the C-TPAT program, it is necessary that a security self-assessment process be developed and implemented. Additionally, these assessments should identify and institute any enhancements or updates to your supply chain program. All aspects of the security self-assessment must be verifiable, documented, reviewed on a regular basis and updated as warranted. CBP's commitment to you, consistent with our goals of security and facilitation of trade moving into the United States, is to provide a secure entry process marked by the efficient release of goods and prompt resolution of CBP issues. At this time, CBP will proceed to provide Gateway International Transport, Inc. with C-TPAT benefits which may include reduced cargo exams, training and sharing of information. Again, I welcome Gateway International Transport, Inc. as a certified C-TPAT partner, and I thank you in advance for your support in this evolutionary and cooperative effort to build a more secure and more efficient global trade environment. Please visit our website and log into the C-TPAT secure web portal at https://ctpat.cbp.dhs.gov in order to learn to which C-TPAT field office and Supply Chain Security Specialist (SCSS) your company has been assigned.
CBP created the C-TPAT validation process to ensure that the security measures declared in a participant's C-TPAT security profile are effective. CBP will, to the extent practicable, conduct a C-TPAT validation not later than one year of the Partner's C-TPAT certification in accordance with section 215 (a) of the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act of 2006. (SAFE Port Act), Pub. L.109-347, 120 Stat. 1917. Sincerely, Director, C-TPAT/Industry Partnerships
