CD of Teleconference with Q&A

and Premises Liability Report
Nearly 7,000 companies are now enrolled in the U.S. Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, or C-TPAT, program, and more than 3,000 were validated or revalidated in 2007 alone. However, staying in C-TPAT is no walk in the park: more than 110 companies have been at least temporarily suspended.
This program, which allows importer and supply chain companies to clear Customs faster in exchange for tightening security oversight, is replete with challenges both for those seeking new certification and for those with several years of C-TPAT experience.
Experiences of security leaders at certified companies are invaluable in educating your security staff to the program's realities, starting with obtaining certification all the way through ongoing compliance.
Listen as our panel of corporate security leaders from member companies and C-TPAT consultants offers you alternatives for dealing with critical challenges, from self-assessing to get an initial validation to staying in Customs' good graces later.
Our panel included:
Karen Lobdell, Global Trade and Supply Chain Specialist, Drinker Biddle, Chicago. For the last 14 years, her practice has focused on international sales management and trade compliance, including homeland security practices. She has designed many client C-TPAT workshops and is a licensed customs broker.
Jane Taeger, Compliance Director, Samuel Shapiro & Co., Baltimore. She has worked in corporate logistics and customs brokerage for 23 years, concentrating on customer consulting seminars, internal and external auditing, and operations management. She manages her firm's consulting division.
Sandra Fallgatter, Private Brand Compliance Manager, J.C. Penney Corp., Dallas.
Ronald May, Director, Buffalo (N.Y.) C-TPAT Field Office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Buffalo, N.Y.
The panel provides guidance to help you:
- Initial validation: The application, comprehensive self-assessment and Customs partnership process.
- Keeping security tight: How to spot new vulnerabilities, address them and report them.
- Unexpected problems: Where the C-TPAT workload can surprise you.
- Program revalidation: What your company will need to do to get recertified every three years.
