Which agency coordinates CTPAT?

• A. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
• B. Department of Homeland Security
• C. Federal Trade Commission
• D. Small Business Administration

Answer: (A)

CTPAT is a voluntary program run and coordinated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. CBP’s role includes partnering with importers, carriers, manufacturers, and other supply chain stakeholders to implement security measures, conduct validations, and share risk information to strengthen the security of the global supply chain. While the Department of Homeland Security is the parent department that houses CBP, the agency actually handling and coordinating the CTPAT activities is CBP. The Federal Trade Commission and Small Business Administration do not coordinate CTPAT.
