SGS Selected by US Customs Border Protection for C-TPAT Third Party


SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification company is pleased to announce their selection to conduct supply chain validations under the C-TPAT program in China.

The C-TPAT Validation Program is a one year commitment limited to China to commence in August 2007. The objective of the program is to enable C-TPAT importers who have supply chain partners mainly in China to participate in the C-TPAT validation process and thereby be granted greater facilitation benefits by CBP.

SGS has been a leader in supply chain security auditing and has developed a large network of well trained and experienced security auditors in China.  They also conduct security audits to a variety of global security standards, including TAPA (anti-theft standard), ISO 28000 (Security Management Program), as well as C-TPAT Compliance audits.  Their capacity, capabilities and experience of several years of security auditing in China enables them to offer a comprehensive, rigorous, efficient and a highly competitive value-for money security auditing service.

Lois O’Brien, the SGS Manger of Global Security Programs, said “I believe our international reputation, ethics and supply chain expertise in China are essential to delivering this service for our clients.”
