It is essential for each member of C-TPAT to go to the C-TPAT Portal, Section 6 Business Entities to review your information and to verify that your Business Entity Identifiers (BEI) are correct. The verification of this will facilitate your shipments at the Customs and Border Protection Ports of Entry.

Make sure you revise:

o Importer of Record number (IOR)

o Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC)

o Manufacturer Identification (MID) number

o International Air Transportation Association (IATA) number

o Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) number

o Bond numbers etc.

Make sure that corrections are made as soon as possible, as the accuracy of this information directly reflects your C-TPAT benefits.
