One of the C-TPAT requirements all members must remember is the use of ISO / PAS 17712 Container High Security Seals also known as C-TPAT compliant high security seals. It is important to make sure all containers are sealed with C-TPAT compliant high security seals.

Ø All C-TPAT Carriers crossing C-TPAT cargo through the FAST lanes are required to have C-TPAT Compliant high security seals placed.

Ø All C-TPAT Carriers crossing Non-CTPAT cargo through regular lanes MUST also place C-TPAT Compliant high security seals even though the cargo that is crossing is Non-C-TPAT.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires that C-TPAT members always comply with the security standards, even when doing business with Non-C-TPAT members.

We strongly encourage placing extra C-TPAT compliant high security seals in the container in case this is opened for previous inspection before arriving to the border.
