CBP Reports Decline in Compliance, Supply Chain Security Measures
Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report Apr 11, 2013
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has posted to its Web site its annual performance and accountability report, which indicates that fiscal year 2012 saw a decline in several measurements related to compliance and supply chain security programs. Details revealed in this report include the following.
Compliance. The percentage of imports compliant with applicable U.S. trade laws, including customs revenue laws, fell for the second straight year to 96.46%, below the goal of 98%. CBP attributes the decline to classification errors by importers.
C-TPAT. The compliance rate for members of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism with established program security guidelines declined to a five-year low of 94.5%, compared to 95.1% in FY 2011. CBP explains that a number of companies were suspended or removed due to the implementation of strengthened C-TPAT security criteria. In addition, the percentage of cargo by value imported by participants in CBP trade partnership programs (C-TPAT and Importer Self-Assessment) dropped from 55.07% to 54.66%, though this was still well above the goal of 45%.
CBP notes that recently C-TPAT Tier 2 and 3 members became exempt from stratified compliance exams and that it is working to also exempt them from non-intrusive inspection exams in the near future. In addition, CBP and the Transportation Security Administration have conducted three of six planned joint validations/inspections of airports and air carriers.
