Craig Bachman Imports, Inc. is committed to a
safe and secure supply chain by supporting the Customs Trade Partnership
Against Terrorism (CTPAT), a voluntary United States Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) business initiative designed to build cooperative relationships to strengthen
the supply chain, border security and continued free flow of international
trade.
To this end, Craig Bachman
Imports, Inc received its CTPAT certification in March 2007 from U.S. Customs
and has continued our support as a validated Tier 2 importer through foreign
validations with our business partners in Korea, Taiwan, and India. Additional
CTPAT information can be found by visiting the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
site at: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/home.xml
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requires
that businesses ensure the integrity of their security practices and
communicate their security requirements to their business partners within the
supply chain. CTPAT offers businesses an opportunity to play a major role in
the war against terrorism and ensure a more secure supply chain for their
employees, suppliers, and customers.
Craig Bachman Imports, Inc.,
its executives, management, and other policy-makers commit to participate in
the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism “CTPAT” program, and to
implement, follow, and maintain practices and procedures consistent with the
CTPAT Importer Security Criteria enforced by Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”.)
As participants in the CTPAT program, it is the policy of Craig Bachman
Imports, Inc. to:
- Cooperate with Customs in its efforts to ensure the security of the supply chain.
- Meet the recommended security practices and assist
in the worldwide campaign to stop terrorism, drug trafficking, human smuggling,
