Trade Resources & Associates will facilitate your company’s creation and implementation of trade compliance and self-policing programs.

Import & Export Compliance
Senior Management must understand the risks of non-compliance. Companies and its employees  found not in compliance will be sanctioned, fined ,and in some cases imprisoned. Global companies cannot afford the disruption or loss of import or export privileges due to negligence or oversight.

Supply Chain Security Compliance
 Every CEO and CFO needs to know the potential damage to its business if security is compromised and the company’s importing container or package is used to deliver a weapon of mass destruction to the United States. CBP has posted the Supply Chain Security Best Practices Catalog on its website. Companies which demonstrate they can meet CBP’s minimum security criteria will be accepted as a Custom-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT)   certified partner. Some of the benefits of becoming a C-TPAT member are reduced port inspections, expedited border processing, “front of the line” inspections and penalty mitigation.
