An organization may select a dedicated internal team or hire an outside consulting organization to perform the tasks listed below, keeping in mind the eight areas of the C-TPAT assessment. The team should review current documented and undocumented policies, procedures, and any security programs in place. The organization may hire additional staff for the review and implementation.
- Map cargo flows and supply chains
- Conduct threat assessments
- Identify security vulnerabilities and weaknesses and rate them
- Prepare an action plan to address security weaknesses
- Document risk assessment, audit, and annual review procedures
The assessment includes interviews with those responsible for the various areas of security and a walk-though of physical distribution and corporate facilities, including those of outside organizations in the importer’s supply chain.
Once an organization has its “as-is” map and has identified the gaps to reaching C-TPAT status, it can begin implementing needed training and enhancing its processes.

An outstanding share! I’ve just forwarded this onto a friend who was doing a little
research on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast simply because
I found it for him… lol. So let me reword this…. Thanks for
the meal!! But yeah, thanks for spending time
to discuss this topic here on your website.
Asking questions are genuinely nice thing if you
are not understanding something completely, but this article presents pleasant
understanding yet.
