Senate signs off on C-TPAT pilot program legislation

According to a summary of the bill from The Library of Congress, “it requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to carry out a pilot program that assesses whether allowing certain entities to participate in the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) would enhance port security, combat terrorism, prevent supply chain security breaches, or otherwise meet the goals of the partnership. Such entities are non-asset-based third-party logistics providers that arrange international freight transportation and are licensed by the Department of Transportation.”
