On August 25, 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a manual for users of the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) web portal. According to CBP’s website, the manual “explains the basic maneuverability throughout the portal to be able to have an accurate and complete CTPAT application. It will also enable partners in the program can take advantage of CTPAT and foreign AEO [Authorized Economic Operator] cargo facilitation benefits.”
The CTPAT program enables CBP to work with the trade community on US border security and strengthening international supply chains. More information on the program can be found here:
