C-TPAT certified businesses move more easily across US borders, whether by road, sea or rail. At Secur-T, we offer security cables that meet C-TPAT standards for your inventories.
C-TPAT: what is it?
C-TPAT stands for “Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism”. This is a certification that aims to combat terrorist threats related to goods entering the United States. The program thus defines a set of security standards to be respected throughout the supply chain of certified operators, particularly in terms of locking containers or trucks.
What are the benefits of C-TPAT certification?
C-TPAT certification is a voluntary program that your company may or may not choose to join. Nevertheless, being a certified operator can give you many advantages.
- There are dedicated trade lanes for goods from C-TPAT certified customers and these undergo fewer inspections, making them cross borders more easily. This limits storage costs and facilitates stock and inventory management.
- You can access international tenders only dedicated to C-TPAT accredited operators.
- Your entire supply chain is secure, which inspires more confidence in importing companies.
We sell security cables that meet C-TPAT standards
Achieving C-TPAT certification involves the use of security devices, including seals, that meet specific standards. We offer in our catalog several models of security cables that meet C-TPAT standards for better locking of your goods after inventories and during their transfer to the United States. In addition, they guarantee greater protection against theft, misappropriation or contamination.
Some examples of C-TPAT compliant security cables available from us!
To be C-TPAT approved, metal seals must have a minimum diameter of 3.5mm. We offer quality products, carefully selected. Here are the two most popular, which have similar applications; the sealing of containers, intermodal trailers or wagons:
- FlexSecure FS35: This seal, with a metal cable, is the most frequently used and has a diameter of 3.5 mm. It is very resistant, especially to corrosion, and frays when cut for maximum protection of your goods. It must be cut with a cable cutter, which increases its reliability.
- FlexSecure FS50: Similar to the FlexSecure FS35, this security cable is distinguished by its 5mm diameter, which makes it even more resistant. It therefore requires even more force to be cut.
These two seals are available with continuous numbering, or can be personalized with the name of your company. In the other C-TPAT certified seals we also have bolt seals, which must also be cut with cable cutters.
