C-TPAT Portal: Are You Ready?
Afternoon Seminar
Did you know that you may lose

The long anticipated procedure for annually
updating security profiles with U.S. Customs is here. U.S.

certified companies will be re-uired to log on to the new
portal, create an account and update their supply chain security
profile. Beginning October 1, 2006, U.S. Customs will revoke
C-TPAT benefits for companies that have not updated their
information online. During this seminar, there will be a
demonstration of the portal. Attend this important seminar to
learn how to: use the C-TPAT portal, add your supply chain
