World Trade - August 2008 - (Page 44) SECURITY Why 3PLs Need a Seat at the C-TPAT Table A 44 WORLD TRADE s international trade continues to expand, the o global supply chain remains even more vulnerable to security threats. Despite efforts by importers and other supply chain participants to improve security, the danger of a terrorist attack involving the international transportation system remains high. The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), part of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) cargo enforcement strategy, has played a key role in strengthening the security of our country’s supply chain. The program works by engaging businesses in a cooperative effort to improve the integrity of their security practices and communicate and verify the security guidelines of their business partners within the supply chain. Although participation in the program has increased, and CBP continues to roll out minimum-security criteria covering new business types, a key category has yet to be incorporated into the program—third-party logis2008 tics providers (3PLs). While U.S. Customs and Border Protection has announced that security criteria covering 3PLs will be incorporated into the C-TPAT program sometime this year, it is unclear how they will develop a common definition for service providers in the outsourced logistics sector. To effectively incorporate minimum security criteria for 3PLs into C-TPAT, it is critical that CBP recognize the extensive impact that outsourced logistics providers have on international supply chain security and develop a clearer definition of business partner requirements associated with 3PLs. To do this, 3PLs need a seat at the table in the C-TPAT process. Our experience at Ryder provides a good example of why this is so. Ryder completed its validation process in 2007 and is currently a validated C-TPAT partner. Because there is not a category for 3PLs within the program, Ryder is certified as a land carrier, along with other 3PLs interested in securing the global supply chain. AUGUST
