Expert Guidance for Compliance with the CTPAT Trade Program
World Wise Consulting provides specialized expertise in CTPAT certification, helping importers, carriers, manufacturers, brokers, and warehouse operators develop and maintain compliant security programs that protect your supply chain while expediting your cargo.
What is CTPAT/C-TPAT?
CTPAT/C-TPAT is the Customs & Trade Partnership Against Terrorism. It is a voluntary program between the Importer and Customs to protect our borders. Customs realizes that border security is a monumental task and is enlisting the trade community to assist in being "on patrol."
CTPAT/C-TPAT recognizes that Customs can provide the highest level of security through close cooperation with the owners of the supply chain, importers, carriers, brokers, warehouse operators and manufacturers. Through this initiative, Customs is asking businesses to guarantee the integrity of their security practices and communicate their security guidelines to their business partners within the supply chain.
