This practical session demystifies the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) and shows how it directly impacts your day-to-day work in logistics, compliance, and import/export operations. Participants will learn core security criteria, common vulnerabilities in the supply chain, and what companies must do to maintain certification. Through real examples, you’ll see how CTPAT requirements affect carrier selection, documentation, vendor management, and cargo security. Whether your organization is already certified or considering it, this class gives you actionable steps to strengthen supply chain security, reduce risk, and support faster, more predictable cross-border operations.
