Securing Trade Lanes Through Verified Supply Chain Compliance
The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is a voluntary but critical initiative by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) aimed at strengthening global supply chain security. BQCIS supports importers, manufacturers, logistics providers, and carriers in meeting and maintaining C-TPAT certification through independent verification and continuous improvement programs.
Our audits benchmark your security management system against C-TPAT Minimum Security Criteria (MSC), evaluating physical, procedural, and IT-based safeguards throughout your logistics network. From facility access control to container sealing and conveyance tracking, BQCIS ensures that every step of your process meets CBP expectations.
Certification through verified compliance not only strengthens cargo protection but also facilitates faster border clearance, fewer inspections, and enhanced trade reputation.
